Course Update
The general condition of the course is superb. Though the divot situation is starting to re-appear. Please fill any divots you come across. You never know it might be you who lands in it next round.

​Thanks also to the troops from the Dad's Army. They do an amazing job around the course, and this past week they christened the new trailer.

Now that the Club Championship qualifying rounds are behind us, the greens' staff will start to fit in some of the remaining path works. Stay tuned.

Saturday 17th October. The final round of the newly re-established 'Watson Cup'. This cup was donated by Thomas Watson in 1935. Tom was a visiting club member and was the manager of Tooth & Co in Sydney. He was a subscriber to the 'Debenture' issue of 1939. The event was only held on one occasion (in 1937), and was won by P.W. McIntyre.  P.W. was the manager of the Bowral branch of the CBC Bank. The trophy vanished shortly after and only returned to the club after P.W died in 1961. The trophy was resurrected for this event to be presented to the winner of the Club Champion in the Nett format over 54 holes of stroke play.

A Little Humour.
"What kind of player is Johnny Bean?" asked one member of his caddie on the day before the competition.
"Hopeless." The caddie replied, "He slices and hooks and goes into every bunker. He seems to think that the way to the hole is via the rough." 
"That's great news" responded the member.
"Oh not really sir, he'll still beat you!"


Now Go out and Enjoy a Game of Golf!!!
