OPEN CLUB CLASSIC

We held our Open Club Classic over the weekend and were blown away by the response to our very important fundraiser for a clubhouse lift. The timesheets were packed over the three days with our members and lots of visitors enjoying great weather and superb course conditions.

Thank you to Waterford Crystal for sponsorship of prizes. Thank you to our course staff for their continued hard work ensuring our course was in excellent condition, to Tom and his team in the Bar for catering, the Pro Shop for taking entries and ensuring everything ran smoothly and our office staff for promotion and bookings. Our Classic committee worked hard to make sure the three days ran very well.

We really appreciate all the donations members have given to support our lift fundraiser. It is heartwarming to see the support from members who were unable to play but wanted to donate. Congratulations to all the prize winners!
