2015 WEEK OF GOLF RESULTS

Our Week Of Golf has just concluded … and what a wonderful week it was!

The weather was brilliant. We had sunny days all week and near full fields each day. We had kept our maximum to 184 participants to ensure that all players had plenty of time to complete their round in daylight. This was not a worry and all players need to be congratulated for keeping the field moving.

The Course was in superb condition, although many visitors found reading the Greens a little tricky. A few pin placements did test the Golfers. 10thGreenThe general opinion from all participants was that Murwillumbah is possibly the most picturesque Course that they have played on. This sentiment was echoed by Ian Vidler, Vice President NSWVGA who represented the NSW Veterans at Presentation on Friday Night.

A very big Thank You must be given to the band of Volunteers, Men and Ladies, who kept play moving by being Spotters and Bunker Rakers around the Greens. Thanks also to our Lolly Sherriff who was hot on the heels of slow play with the enticement of a “sugar hit”.

The week concluded with a Presentation Dinner on Friday Night. This was attended by 110 people who enjoyed the entertainment and camaraderie.

Ian Vidler presented the NSWVGA Mens’ Shield to Neville Smart from Cromer with a total of 72pts. This is the second time that Neville has won this shield. Neville won the inaugural Week Of Golf back in 2009. Congratulations!

The Ladies’ Shield (with equal prize money being made available by Murwillumbah Vets) was won by Margaret Whitby from Beverley Park with a total of 74pts. Congratulations as well!
