Sawtell 2024 Week of Golf

SAWTELL WEEK OF GOLF Date 18TH August 2024
Tournament Director: Rachel Jacobson, assisted by Club Captain Ian Jones

Course: Good condition considering 140 mls of rain the previous week. Preferred lies general area.
Registration: TD and Club Captain in attendance. Club Captain Ian spoke on the outline for the week eg preferred lies etc.
Hospitality: Very welcoming, volunteers each day spotting where required and helpful. Serve yourself tea and coffee each morning.
Weather: Perfect every day.
Player Numbers: No locals. 66 males, 54 females. 43 Clubs represented. Three grades for males and females split evenly.

Presentation Dinner Held Thursday night at the Golf Club. Well supported. Very generous serving of beef or lamb roast followed by a choice of two desserts.

Club Captain was the MC.
Councillors Peter Taylor and Charlie Swyer in attendance.
Seating arrangements organized by the Tournament Director, great idea as players were placed with a player they had played with or were to play with the next day. Players socialized and met new people.

Comments: Shotgun starts each day at 8.30 had many players staying after their games purchasing lunches and drinks and socialising which would have been good revenue for the Club.

This week of golf is very popular, and I am confident next year will be the same. Will be a bonus having Maclean the previous week and not a spare week.
Pro shop staff distributed cards each day and organized carts.
