MACLEAN VETERAN\u2019S WEEK OF GOLF<\/strong>
\n11th to 15th August 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tournament Directors:<\/strong> Mark & Kate Hemmy
\nPresident NSWVGA:<\/strong> John Daley
\nNSWVGA Council Representative<\/strong>: Peter Taylor<\/p>\n

Registration:<\/strong> It was a good afternoon to \u2018meet & greet\u2019 our returning members and to welcome new members to our Week of Golf. Once again, we were treated with our local Piper, Alistair Smith, giving us a warm welcome with his Scottish tunes on his bagpipes.<\/p>\n

\nMark Hemmy welcomed everybody, mentioned a few housekeeping rules and taking the credit for organising fine weather, as he did last year.<\/p>\n

Player Numbers:<\/strong> We had 98 men, and 60 women registered to play. 56 Clubs were represented. Men were in 3 grades and women in 2 grades. No locals played in this event.<\/p>\n

Hospitality:<\/strong> Morning tea was provided every morning, our Maclean Women Golfers baking some lovely slices and biscuits also fruit cake went down a treat. The choice of a freshly made sandwich or a sausage sizzle was provided for lunch. On Friday, Presentation lunch was held at the Maclean Bowling Club. A large roast meal, either pork or lamb was enjoyed by all. Marlene and Graham Roberts joined us for lunch, and it was great to see their smiling faces and here their laughter as they caught up with the regulars that they have known for years.<\/p>\n

We were extremely lucky with the weather, a quick light shower on Tuesday was all the rain we had for the week.
\nRaffles<\/strong> were held everyday with prizes being, gift cards, wine and produce hampers and vouchers from our local fish co-op and hotel. At Presentation we had a draw of the cards for free entry into next year\u2019s tournament and this was won by Jennifer Overhall.
\nMore and more players are requiring carts these days, so a big thank you to all the members who supplied theirs, as we have limited number of club carts. We did not have to say no to anyone who requested a seat in a cart.
\nThank you to all the volunteers<\/strong> who assisted Mark and Kate during the week and in the preparation and clean up. Geoff Grayson, previous Tournament Director, invaluable help with organising carts and knowledgeable advice was extremely appreciated. Thank you to Maclean\u2019s Veterans Committee, the Cooks, Kim & Col, the Spotters, the Parking Attendees, the Golf Cart Organisers, the Starters and the Helpers upstairs making the week run smoothly. Thank you to the Ground Staff for presenting the course in magnificent condition, the Pro Shop and Bar Staff and to all our Sponsors for their generosity.<\/p>\n
