Unfortunately, the 27-hole Easter Cup, which is normally held on Easter Monday, did not take place. However, it was great to see some visitors and members enjoying the two events on Friday and Saturday.
Thanks, as always, to the volunteers who helped prepare the course for our Easter tournament and to those who assisted in organising the events before and during the day.
The club is also grateful to Tahbilk Winery and the Seymour Club for their continued support.
Next Friday, it is back to a social six holes, and it will be par over holes one to six.
On Saturday, the men and women will be playing stroke, with the men also competing for the April monthly medal.
