On Monday the club hosted the Central West Veterans to play an 18-hole Stableford event. There was a total of 70 players including seven ladies.
Our local golfers were well represented in the results showing the home course advantage.
A former local Pat Harvey won the ladies event, Glyn Samuel won the B grade with a good card for 39 points and Barry Lang won the A grade event with a good score of 39 points. The visitors were very impressed with the condition of the course, especially the greens.
Golf next Saturday will be an 18-hole Stableford event.
We are planning a match play to begin in June, there is a sheet on the bar to add your names to the list already committed. There is still board positions to fill, we would love to have a couple of members commit to this.
