Well over 100 players will line up for the Diggers Charity Day, hot on the heels of a similar size field for a 9 hole ambrose event a couple of weeks ago.
Diggers Day will be an 18 hole four-person ambrose with 11am assembly for 11.30am shotgun start. The $30 entry fee includes lunch, and there will also be a drinks cart on course and novelty events. Book online or at the pro shop.
Players who want to hire a cart are advised they need to contact the pro shop and book it, as the number available is limited and the club does not want to disappoint those who leave their cart booking until the last minute.
Next Monday, the local members of Goulburn Valley Veterans Golf travel to Kialla. There’s a sheet on the noticeboard in the pro shop for those who are attending.
Other events coming up include the Deniliquin Ladies Open on Friday, May 22, and the Deniliquin Men’s Open on Saturday, May 23. There will be scratch and handicap events on both days, with 9.30am assembly for 10am shotgun start on the Saturday and Sunday.
The Winter Classic will be held on Saturday and Sunday, June 6and 7. This year it will be four-person ambrose each day, with separate events each day for men and women, plus 36 hole events.
On course in the past week, last Thursday was stableford multiplier, won by Prue Lloyd and Shandra Simpson with 78 points, from runners-up Linda Brant and Jen Choice on 78.
Saturday was versus par and Neil Boswell had a day out in A-grade with an impressive +6, to win by three shots from Rob Wettenhall +3, while B-grade winner was Geoff Mulham +3 from runner-up Robert Karaitiana +2.

Coming up, tomorrow is stableford, next Tuesday is stableford (back 9), Wednesday is stableford, Thursday is 18 holes versus par and 9 holes stableford, and next Saturday is stroke for monthly medal.
