Busy Time For Golfers

September 8, 2016 By Maggi Barnard

As last weekend’s golf was washed out, the rest of the month promises to be very busy starting with the Bob Smith Memorial Golf Day tomorrow for men and women, while the rescheduled Pybar Handicap Challenge final will take place on Sunday.

The following week, the annual SCT Logistics Parkes Open Tournament takes place and on Saturday, 24th September the men get to play the washed out Telescope Tyres & Batteries September Monthly Medals sponsored by Tony Williams Chartered Accountants. The Ladies will play a 4 Ball Multiplier for Kay Jones trophies on the same weekend, and rounding out September, commencing on Monday 26th, is the Atlas Copco Australia Parkes Veterans Week of Golf.

Members are reminded of the Special General Meeting starting at 5.30pm tomorrow for the election of a new Club President after the unfortunate resignation of Ross Smith from the position. Members are urged to attend to celebrate the appointment of a new President.

The Club will conduct a Rules Night, in conjunction with Golf NSW, on Wednesday, 14th September at 6.30pm to discuss rules that affect the every day golfer. Bookings are required.

Tomorrow the men and women will contest an 18 hole 2Ball Medley Stableford with 9 and 18 hole individual events to be run in conjunction. The day will be in honor of the late R.L. (Bob) Smith with Michael Smith and family members sponsoring the day. The Pybar Handicap Challenge is on Sunday at 9am. The match committee have ruled that players who accepted for last weekend will have the first opportunity to play, but they must confirm to the Club Captain on 0427 624 683 by 5pm today.
