It is being called the ‘Sunday Sesh’, and will be a 12 hole social competition for golfers of all abilities.
The ‘Sesh’ follows the recent highly successful Friday twilight event. Format will be four-person ambrose, with an ideal team having a mix of inexperienced and experienced golfers. There will be a 11am shotgun start off the gold tees, which shortens every hole.
Following golf, there will be a barbecue and live music provided by Raj Singh in the beer garden.
Cost to play is only $10 per person ($40 per team) with entries are being taken in the pro shop or by phoning 5881 1325. Cart hire can also be arranged at the pro shop.
On course over the past week there were 9 and 18 holes stableford events last Thursday.
Nine hole winner was Esther Bolton with 18 points from runner-up Judy Gatacre 17, and the 18 hole event was won by Vicki Brunker with 36 points from runner-up Troy Grant 33.
Saturday was also stableford, with the warm weather deterring some players and a smaller than usual field.
A-grade winner was Lachie Campbell on 40 points from runner-up Peter Locke 39, and B-grade winner Simon Brennan 37 from runner-up Peter Seely 36.
On Wednesday, there were three grades. A-grade winner was George Willis with 34 points from runner-up Chris Mitsch 32; B-grade Colin Drummond 41 from runner-up Bryan Bennett 37, and C-grade Dick Bolton 33 on countback to Gary Freckleton.
Highlight of Wednesday’s golf was a hole-in-one on the fifth to Gary Stephens.
Coming up, tomorrow we have a versus par event for the Bruce Laing Cup, Tuesday is 9 holes stableford, Wednesday is stableford, then Thursday and Saturday are both stroke rounds and start of the club championships.
Friday Night Fun continues tonight with raffle tickets on sale from 6pm and draws at 7pm. Happy hour is 6pm to 7pm.
Don’t forget the extended dining room hours. Meals are now available from Wednesday to Friday, lunch and dinner.
