This weekend we have versus par tomorrow, followed on Sunday by the High School charity day, which is four person ambrose. This has attracted a strong field, but there are still vacancies for any late entries.
Entries are also being accepted for the annual Veterans’ Week of Golf. Registration is Sunday, October 8 and daily events will be held throughout the week, culminating in VGA Trophy Day on the Friday. Entry forms are on the golf club website.
Tonight at the club is the Blind Footy Tipping dinner, which always attracts a big crowd. We will also have the raffle, with tickets on sale from 6pm and draws at 7pm.
