Work continues on improvements and relocation of poker machines in the clubhouse, as the Golf Club develops the course and other facilities for members and visitors.
This is all made possible thanks to the work of volunteers, who are the backbone of the club, and the widespread support our club receives.
Well done to everyone involved!
On course, Saturday was a single stableford event. A grade winner with 37 points was David Ring, from runner-up Brian Bourke 35; in B grade Vicki Hutton had 40 points from runner-up Daryl Nalder 37; in C grade the winner was Kym Sandford with 40 and runner-up Magnus Aitken 39, and in D grade Ross Burnham had 37 to defeat runner-up Jeff Grant 36.
Last Thursday the ladies played stroke and the winner was Jen Choice with net 67 from Pauline Sherwin net 70.
In Wednesday’s men’s stableford event the A grade winner was Brian Jennings with 40 points from Cory Liefting 37, and in B grade Dick Bolton had 41 from runner-up Des Ramsey on 36.
On Monday a group of members travelled to Nagambie for the latest round in the GV Vets competition. Our golfers were not among the winners, but Jack Peacock and Des Ramsey featured in the ball comp.
Coming up, we have a stableford event on Saturday, the ladies will play a 12 hole par 3 on Tuesday, men’s stableford on Wednesday and it is the ladies open day with a four-person ambrose next Thursday. Saturday March 5 is the Deni Freighters Monthly Medal.
The following weekend is the Autumn Classic, sponsored by Purtills and Wired Entertainment, entries for which are available at the Pro Shop or online.
As usual it will be a fourball best ball stableford with 18 hole events on Saturday and Sunday, plus the major 36 hole event. So get your partner organised and fill out an entry form, as this is always a popular event with big fields on both days.
Don’t forget Friday Night Fun at the club tonight. Raffle tickets are on sale from 6pm with draws at 7.30pm. Excellent meals are available, with bookings preferred. If you want a lift, call the club and order the courtesy bus.
