\nOn behalf of NSWVGA, Rep Penny paid tribute to TD John Dixon for his outstanding commitment to Veteran Golf in NSW and NSWVGA. This was John\u2019s last year as TD. John has ensured the long-term future of the Dubbo week of golf by establishing a system and personnel. Phil, John, Annette and a strong Vets Committee are very supportive of Vets golf in Dubbo.
\nCourse:<\/strong> Dubbo course was in great condition. A few areas where work is being undertaken on the course. Preferred lies in general areas.
