On Sunday, Deniliquin Golf Club’s division one and division two teams contested finals of the WRDGA pennant. Division One had a narrow loss 3.5 to 1.5, while Division Two had a tough day, being defeated 6.5-.5.
Although the results were disappointing, it was a great effort to make the final in both divisions. Thanks to the 22 players who made up the Deni teams in this season’s pennant.
Last Wednesday, 10 of our lady golfers travelled to Finley for the popular 2025 Pink Day, a two-person ambrose raising money for breast cancer research. Despite some ordinary weather, everyone had an enjoyable day, especially Jane Armytage and Pauline Davis who won the ladies’ division by four shots. Jane was also among the winners in the NTP prizes.
