Members of Deniliquin Golf Club will be permitted to continue playing golf, either social or competition, provided strict social distancing protocols are followed.
As such the final round of the Men’s Championships will take place tomorrow, with Matt Thomas having a stranglehold on the title after his brilliant four under par 68 in last Sunday’s second round.
Good luck to all players tomorrow, especially those in contention for victory in their respective grades.
The ladies completed their championships last week. Congratulations to Vicki Brunker who claimed back to back championship trophies, as well as B grade champion Denise Hunter and C grade champion Coral Maher.
