PARKLANDERS were pleased to see the return of weather conditions more amenable to playing the game of golf.

LAST week’s report ended with a hope that we would see both reducing COVID-19 infection rates and declining scores off the stick at Parklands.

AFTER all the golf missed over the last two months it was great to see the fairways once again filled with smiling golfers. Some golfers found out how rusty they were after the round, and some played the game as it should be with great scores.

COMPETITION deprived golfers returned to the Parklands course last Friday, each determined to be on their mettle for the much-anticipated resumption of golfing hostilities.

THE wait is over with many community sporting clubs and associations set to resume events this week following the announcement of regional Victoria moving to the third step of the VOCID-19 roadmap from midnight last night.

WHILE the courses at the Portland Golf Club and Heywood Golf Club remain shut due to the global coronavirus pandemic, in backyards, garages, paddocks and even lounge rooms around the region, many golfers are continuing to work on their game.
