Congratulations – Well done to Wendy Donelan for winning the Veteran Women Golfers Association Weekend Players (0 – 45 handicap) with a score of 4 under par. Also, to the Mark DeMontfort who won the Drummond Golf NSW Championship and is off to King Island for the final.
Legacy Day – A great event was organized again this year for our annual Charity Day to raise money for St George Legacy. The rain largely held off and only came down towards the end of the event. Congratulations to all the winners and all those who participated. A big thanks to all those who helped on the day. A big thanks goes to Bruce Alexander and Peter Weewan for all their work before and on the day.
Ladies Fashion Parade – was another big success. A few less ladies than last year, however, the weather could have had an impact. The huge thunderclaps over the clubhouse did not dampen the enjoyment of the day and the shopping spirit. A big thanks to the Ladies Committee, our models and Val Leicht who played a large part in organising the day and for her lovely flowers for the tables.

The Course – A big thanks to the small group of volunteers who turned up to help with the spring greens renovation. They did a fantastic job helping Ross and Greg to get the work done in one day. I think we all appreciate the improvements to the course and greens over the last few months – well done Ross and the volunteers.
