2023 NSWVGA Men\u2019s Strokeplay and Ladies Stableford Championship<\/strong><\/span>
\nin conjunction with annual Dubbo Veteran Golfers Week of Golf<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A successful week of golf in Dubbo with about 130 players each day with players from 46 clubs from around the state. This Championship was originally scheduled for 2021, 2022 but COVID forced the postponement until 2023.<\/p>\n

The Stroke play championship was a Tier 1 event but on its first move to the country attracted only 28 players. The event was conducted on 3 different layouts on the 27- hole Dubbo course. In difficult warm and windy conditions Gilgandra member Garry McKenzie (h\u2019cap 3) outclassed the field with rounds of 75,74,78 (227) to win by 4 shots from prolific senior\u2019s winner John Osborne (h\u2019cap 2) from Mudgee (74,84,73 (231). The over 70 age division was won by Jim McDonald (Dubbo) with a score of 238 whilst Darren Payne, Highlands took out the under 70 with a score of 241. The overall handicap winner over the 54 holes was Ron Willis (8) from Dubbo with a score of 213.<\/p>\n
