Members are advised that the sealing of the Club's carpark commenced last Monday, December 6.

Access to the carpark will be limited, and it may mean members may have to park along Lloyd Prest Drive. Just follow the signs.

With soft greens, players are asked to take extra care in repairing green pug marks.

This weeks event on Saturday is a single stroke and is also the playoff for the Gold monthly medal.

Players who have won medals over the past year are eligible to play in the grade in which they have the medal.
