With spring approaching, it is a great time to be on the course, and there will be plenty of events for all golfers.
One of the most popular annual tournaments is the Spring Classic, and it will be played on September 14 and 15.
It will be the usual four-ball best ball stableford format, with 18 hole events each day plus a 36 hole event.
Earlier in the month is the Mary Bradshaw Bowl, on Tuesday, September 3.
It will be single stableford and have trophies for the scratch winner, grade winners and runners-up, longest drive, nearest the pin and ball comp.
The club will again host Veterans’ Week of Golf, from October 13 to 18. Entry forms for the above three events are on the club website.
