Tuesday 7 November Melbourne Cup Day

The Melbourne Cup golf and lunch is back on Tuesday 7 November.

The entry fee is $75 which includes arrival drink, lunch, golf prizes and post golf live music.

As this is a fun social event for all our members, the booking window will open for ALL categories of members on Tuesday 17 October at 5 PM.

Please note that for the first time this year, we ask that all members PAY at the point of booking in the golf timesheet. You will be directed to pay with your credit card. Unfortunately, the timesheet doesn't allow payment from the club's members' accounts. We are trialling this process to assist the administration on the day.

For the point of reference to last year's Melbourne Cup - there will be no free drinks vouchers for members on the course BUT we will have a drinks cart service on the day.

Twilight with a Twist

We thank club sponsor Gibbons Automotive for a new Twilight Twist!

At the first Friday Twilight of every month, the winner of the comp will win a $100 club voucher, thanks to Gibbons Automotive.

Our inaugural winner on Friday 6 October was Ian Turnbull, pictured here with Gibbons Automotive - Ross Nass.

We also take this opportunity to advise members that Friday Twilights will resume on Friday 27 October (2nd round of Twilight Champs). We have our Junior Gala day today (Friday 13 Oct) and we are hosting a charity golf day next Friday (Friday 20 Oct).

The Twilight Champs will be held on 6 Oct, 27 Oct, 3 Nov and 10 Nov. The best 3 scores out of 4 rounds count for the championship win.

We will come back with a bang on Friday 27 October as it is also our last Friday of the month dining. Our new head chef, Gus, has prepared a new dinner menu. Please see below.

Fundraising for Mason Burr

Mason Burr, our junior member has just secured a place at the Sky Sports 31st Junior European Open in Spain this November.

Not only is he a golf sensation, but he's also an embodiment of respect and kindness, actively engaging in charity events, fundraisers, and volunteering at our Club when he can.

His parents are absolute gems, always giving and supporting others. Now, it's our turn to rally behind them and Mason. Let's make his dream of competing internationally a reality!
