\n<\/strong>Greens challenging. Many, many bunkers of all shapes and sizes throughout the two courses. Good condition comprising couch grass. Work being undertaken with the vast irrigation system being updated. West and River courses were played twice each during the week.
\nRegistration:
\nTournament Director Grant Evans informed players of the procedures for the week. Golf Genius was the phone app to be used. Dinner seatings organized. Name tags issued and the draw for the week although this had been emailed a week before. Raffle squares available for purchase for very generous prizes to be drawn at the Thursday Presentation dinner.
\nA good selection of hot food entrees served, and a drink voucher provided to each player. A very well-organized Registration afternoon from 2 to 5pm.
\nWeather:
\n<\/strong>Bright and sunny each day. A short shower on Thursday morning and afternoon, but mainly fine.
\nPlayer Numbers:
\n<\/strong>186 registered players. 81 Females and 105 Males. No locals. 86 Clubs represented. Four states NSW, Vic, Qld, Tasmania. And NZ and ACT
\nPresentation Dinner:
\n<\/strong>Delicious meal served of chicken or beef followed by dessert. Raffles drawn which included entry to next year\u2019s Week of Golf.
\nNSWVGA Rep spoke of the need for players to travel to Nyngan and Dubbo. Also to then follow on to western inland areas such as Broken Hill, Howlong, Deniliquin, Leeton, Griffith and Harden in time for the Melbourne Cup.
\nThe Golf Pro Jarrod Love <\/strong>donated numerous raffle prizes.
\nManager Nicole James <\/strong>spoke of the large improvements going on to the Club and the support of the CTH Vets.
\nAn anonymous donation of $1000 to CTH Vets announced and this will be continued for the next 20 years. It has been decided to use it towards the Week of Golf next year.
\nComments:
\n<\/strong>Grant Evans and his Vets committee are to be congratulated on the smooth organization of this week of golf. Vice President Gary Waugh had all volunteers documented for times and positions on the course for the week. Nearest the Pins were announced each afternoon and golf balls distributed.
\n<\/strong>Grant has stood down as TD for next year and is being replaced by Vice President Gary Waugh. CTH will still be in good hands.
\nThe committee and the audience were happy to hear that Maclean is following CTH next year as this avoids that vacant week.
\nFreshly made sandwiches and hot foods were available to purchase at each course each day.
