Bert Adams is really one of a kind! He celebrated his 100th birthday last Friday, and for most of those years he was a member of the Wagga City Golf Club … 65 years in fact!

We had a wonderful celebration for him today, after a 9 hole stableford comp. He’s still playing once or twice a week in our 9-hole Vets comps and goes very well thankyou … picking up vouchers on a regular basis 😉👍.

Bert loves to talk about his golfing ‘career’, this being the only sport he’s ever played! (I’m pretty sure he’s been playing the game for 90 years or so!)

Away from golf, Bert is a highly-respected World War 2 Veteran, who prides himself in still marching in our Anzac Day parades.

He told me his goal has always been to March in this year’s parade at the age of 100 … we’re all looking forward to being there to cheer him on!
