ALMOST 40 years’ dedication to local golf has been rewarded with a new life member inducted into Casterton Golf Club.

MOWERS and whipper snippers have been out in force at the Hamilton Golf Club, tidying up the course as it finally starts to dry out after a very wet spring.

SUNDAY was a day for celebration at the Parklands Golf Club, with past and present members gathering to celebrate our 50th anniversary and presentation day.

HAMILTON Golf Club has a new life member with Ian Ferguson receiving the honour during last week’s annual general meeting.

IT is great to finally have some golfing results to report on, with both the Saturday, Tuesday and Wednesday competitions going ahead at Hamilton Golf Club last week.

EVEN though golf is deemed a winter sport, this year has been exceptionally wet not just the Hamilton course, but places like Horsham who traditionally don’t have any issue.

AFTER the action on course through August and September, members are gearing up for summer, which historically has seen a more relaxed approach to competitive golf.

WITH the continued wet weather, the Hamilton Golf Club has not had any competition golf for a week.

DESPITE the foreshadowing of bad weather, the Portland Golf Club Spring Tournament had a relatively uninterrupted run across its four days of competition.

THE men played for the Rountree Hyslop Cup on Saturday in a 4BBB par event, which is normally played over two rounds, but due to the recent course closure, the event was reduced to one round.
