GOLD COASTERS OUTING TO MOUNT CONGREVE
Some of our ladies made a return visit to Mt. Congreve last week in beautiful sunshine to take in the splendour of the flowering plants, shrubs and trees. They were treated to a variety of Camelias, Azaleas and Magnolias in a stunning array of colours and hues amongst the immense variety of other trees and floral structures!! The variety of photographs taken by the women were spectacular and well done to those behind the cameras, absolutely incredible!!
After their walk and tour of the gardens, they had a fabulous lunch in the beautiful restaurant within the house. It was another great day out with 2 of our newest members on board, thanks a million again to Anne for another memorable day out. Looking forward to the next one already!!

INTER CLUB TEAMS
Many of our ladies have taken to the fairways and putting green, being put through their paces by the respective managers. All looking very promising and going very well so far, keep it up ladies!!

NEW MEMBERS OPEN EVENING
We are hosting an open evening for new members, friends or relatives who would like to try out hitting a few balls and maybe get hooked on the game.

ON THE COURSE
Winter rules are being set aside as we return to preferred lies. Mats have been removed from the tee boxes and players are now required to play the ball as it lies in the rough and bunkers are back in play. There is placing on the fairway only within 6 inches not nearer the hole. Please check with the kiosk for any further course updates.

Our team managers are currently preparing for the upcoming inter-club competitions, which begin in late April and early May 2025. Trials will be taking place over the coming weeks.
