Coming up we can expect plenty of social golfers on the course over Easter.
A single stableford event will be played on Saturday, ladies 9 holes stableford on Tuesday, men’s stableford on Wednesday and ladies stableford next Thursday.
The following weekend will also be busy on the golf course with the popular Borella Cup on Saturday and the Diggers Charity Golf Day on Sunday April 24. This is a four-person ambrose event with 11.30am assembly for 12 noon shotgun start. It’s $25 per player and there will be a barbecue and drinks cart. Proceeds will support the study of military history in our schools.
Also, mark Monday June 13 in your calendar as this will be the annual Big Freeze MND Charity Day. More details as we get closer to the event.
There will be no raffles or meals tomorrow (Friday) night or bingo tomorrow, but they will both resume next week.
