 Members, Below are the latest updated winners of the Monthly Medals and they will play off in the Medal of Medals in November 2025

Spirits were high, and friendly banter filled the air as each participant took their turn. It quickly became clear that a few had brought their A-game, with putts dropping from all angles. However, as the field narrowed, James Cameron proved to be the standout performer. Calm, consistent, and cool under pressure, James outlasted the competition to claim the win, much to the applause and cheers of the crowd. For those who didn’t quite hit their mark in the initial rounds, a repêchage (second chance) round was held—giving everyone another shot at glory. This time, it was Peter Searle who rose to the occasion, sinking crucial putts to take out the repêchage and walking away with bragging rights of his own. All in all, it was a great finish to the afternoon—filled with laughs, good company, and a bit of healthy competition. Than...

  Report on 2025 District Pennant A GRADE This year started with the best response to nomination we have had in a long time. For the first time since 2013 we nominated an A Grade Side into the competition.

Members please be aware that our local rule regarding tree roots is not approved by Golf NSW and as such we need to change the wording to the following. EXPOSED TREE ROOTS IN THE FAIRWAY If a player's ball is in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots that are in a part of the general area cut to fairway height or less or in the rough within two club-lengths of the edge of the fairway, the tree roots are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.  Interference does not exist if the tree roots only interfere with the player's stance. Penalty for Playing Ball from a Wrong Place in Breach of Local Rule: General Penalty Under Rule 14.7a   Andrew Robb Manager, Rules, Handicapping & Course Rating
