Vets enjoy Nagambie
Posted on: 25 March
Perfect weather again at Nagambie for the eighty-eight veteran golfers who made the journey on Monday 25 March. The temperature during the event moving from 18 to 25oC and the breeze was unable to disturb a wide-brimmed hat as it increased from 0 to 11 km/hr during the playing period.. The catering by the Nagambie ladies was also unsurpassed with sumptuous BBQ meat accompanied by a large boiled potato and a selection of salads, finishing with slices of watermelon.
Special thanks are extended to our wounded warriors, in Graham Scott and Pooch McHale who travelled and assisted in registrations although they were unable to play through injury. This highlights the fact that our committee is four short of our preferred number and we would welcome any enquiry from members interested in securing the Association’s future.
