ANNOUNCEMENTS:

We had some sad news this week hearing of the passing of Neil Orr who had been a long time playing Member of our club. Our deepest sympathy to Neil's family.

Australia Day this year falls on a Tuesday so there is going to be a Mixed Competition on that day which is traditionally Ladies Day.

On Friday 5th February there is going to be another Nine and Dine Evening for $25 per had which includes 9 holes of golf plus dinner after golf. This event has proved very popular in the past so get your group of four organised and booked in.
