AS we that play golf age, it seems that mother nature often dictates how many times we play a round each week.

When we have those beautiful temperate days, golfers can be found on the fairways most days, either playing a social round or competition.

This past week however has really tested the resilience of our members, with both heat and rain causing two of our events to be abandoned.

Both Christmas and our presentation night are drawing closer, and as we know this time of year can be extremely busy.

Our presentation night will take the format of a barbecue tea after the 4BBB on December 14, followed by the presentation of trophies to those who have excelled throughout the year.

Please contact our secretary at secretary@parklandsgolfclub.com.au by December 11 if you are attending.

Members to each bring a salad or sweet as contribution please.

Saturday

WEATHER dictated that no golf be played today.

The course appreciated the rain and will offer us some greener fairways for a little longer to enjoy.

Friday

WITH no rain and relatively pleasant conditions, the $5 Friday golf teed off at 5pm, playing a stroke round over the composite nine.

Playing an excellent nine and taking out the win was Sue Irvin with a nett 32 from Vincent O’Brien on 33.5 and Bernie Cook on 34.5.

Les Pye was nearest the pin on the 2nd and Sue Irvin on the 13th,

Wednesday

AGAIN, no golf played today due to the conditions, both heat and rain deterring our members.

Tuesday

THE final Tuesday event for 2024 saw a good number play a stableford game over the composite nine in pleasant conditions to start with, but it was certainly a lot warmer at the conclusion.

Toby Salter topped the scores with 24 points from Heather Wilkinson on 23 and Mary McCallum on 19.

Kelly Hitchcock was nearest the pin on the 13th, and the longest putt on the first was holed by Mary McCallum with Salter collecting the honour on the 18th.

The longest, straightest drive on the ninth was awarded to Gaye Goggin.

A Kris Kringle took the place of our usual prizes and we all then reconvened for lunch at Alexandra House.

It was wonderful to be joined by other members who had not played on the day, and all enjoyed the social aspect of our game.

This week

TODAY will be a stableford event over 13 holes.

Visitors are invited to join us for our $5 Friday nine-hole event, 4.45pm for 5pm hit off.

Saturday will be the monthly medal stroke event, noon for 12.30pm hit off.
