Gold Coast Golf Club Notes 30th July 2018:
General:
President’s Prize is only weeks away and this year there will be a change in the build-up to this event, more below. Gold Coast are now looking for a golf administrator, see ads in local papers. The new polo shirts are proving very popular and selling very well. Plenty of matches being played at present and hopefully all the match-play tournaments will conclude in time. Ger Bagge on fire as he collects 8 birdies in his round on Sunday morning. Ger had 46 pts playing off 4 handicap to win the competition. Sunday 9th September will be ‘Blue Day’ in the Gold Coast when all members playing in competition will be asked to wear blue on the day. This is to remind us of all the people who played golf with us and who have now departed to their eternal reward. It will coincide with the September Monthly Medal, which will be played off Blue Tees.

The President’s Prize, kindly presented by Mick Cronin, will take place on the last weekend in August, 24th, 25th and 26th. The timesheet is now open for booking into this event.
