  FATHER AND SON "PORT CUP" A select group of elite Central Coast golfers braved the elements last weekend to contest the annual Father & Son Port Cup . While some may complain about our own course conditions, they pale in comparison to the soggy fairways of Del Rio . Despite a glimpse of sunshine, gum boots were still the preferred footwear, and the greens—unmowed for weeks—were more “shaggy paddock” than “championship surface.” The fathers’ team, featuring seasoned Breakers members Bone, Whalan and Searle —all previous Port Cup champions—put up a spirited fight. However, on this occasion the younger brigade proved too strong, soundly defeating their more experienced opponents. Former regulars Leary and Ball were unavailable this year, but were quick to declare from afar that the fathers’ downfall was “inevitable” without their presence. Another memorable Port Cup, full of laughs, mud, and a reminder that youth—and perhaps fresher legs—often has the final say. Compe...

 COURSE CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. "TERRIGAL CUP" POSTPONED.

MELBOURNE CUP DAY Tuesday 4th November Opened To All Members . Only 64 Spots Tickets on sale NOW!!! REMEMBER

  From tomorrow Wednesday 13 th August – the golf course will be OPEN for play.   Only the 8 th hole will be shortened, playing off the wet weather tee, all other holes will be normal (but forward tees). Please remind your members to repair pitch marks and divots which are vital to the repair and recovery of our greens and fairways.  Sorry, no carts at this stage.

    After an inspection of the golf course this afternoon, I am making the difficult decision to keep the course closed for tomorrow, Tuesday 12 th August .   There is simply too much surface water still present for the course to be playable and/or safe in the majority of the areas. If tomorrow is like today, or is aligned with the forecast, then there is a high likelihood of the course reopening for Wednesday 13 th August, but that will be assessed tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for your patience and understanding, hopefully we can get everyone back out on the course very soon. Regards, Matthew Farrugia Regional Manager Central Coast Hospitality
