Our Week Of Golf has just concluded with outstanding success. We had 170 players each day on average. These players came from 66 different clubs. The majority of the Clubs were from NSW, but we had representation from Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania and New Zealand.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The Organising Committee were pleased to receive ALL positive comments, ranging from “well organized”, “fantastic course”, “beautiful weather”, “great volunteer helpers”, “generous ball rundowns”, “delicious food”. The best news we heard was that they all said they would be back next year. Already we have 158 notifications requesting Information for W.O.G. 2013.
