It was a pleasure to welcome to the competition some golfers from two local clubs. Greg Roberts from Strathbogie GC and Matt Richards, Shane Mc Goldrick and Jarrod Sloane from Alexandra GC. Visitor are always welcome to join the Saturday competition. No bookings are necessary golfers just need to turn up at 9.00am for a 9.30 tee off.
Next Saturday all the monthly medal winners will play off for the Medal of Medalists trophy. On Saturday 17 December the annual presentation day will take place. A flyer has been distributed to all members and are asked to note that a shotgun start will be at 8.30 and partners for the 2-person ambrose game with 3 clubs and a putter can be chosen prior to the event or selected randomly on the day. If members intend playing in this event and staying for lunch please inform Alan Howard.
