7/6/2025

This Saturday we will have the following competition

  • VGL medal day, Men’s Winter cup -36 holes round 1
  • Glen Waverley Cup Round 6.1
  • Ladies Monthly Award Stroke/putting

Please join us for a sausage sizzle following your round.

A suggestion has been put forward that we nominate a hole for each competition day and have each player empty a sand bucket to fill up divots through the fairway.  A hole will be nominated on the white board next to the registration Kiosk.

Players are encouraged to fill up any divots along your normal round as we all hate to find our ball in a divot.

Please note the following items below;
