2015 Members Handbook is available at the bar for collection. Please use it in conjunction with the on-line calendar accessible from the 'Our Club' page. At the club we have a very full calendar of club, interclub and outside events. Clubhouse events are increasing with members and others holding functions at our club. A change of date for reasons such as a rescheduling, weather etc has a ripple effect right through the program. For the last couple of years we have had an on-line calendar which is kept up to date. This is the calendar that the pro-shop uses to set up the golf events. Last year we had upwards of 20 changes through the year and this year we would expect to be little different. (This year there were also some production problems with the fixtures part of the Members Handbook which didn't help matters). 
Footnote: Tues 13th.  Just last night we got notice of some changes that will be made to the White Horse Cup draw in the next days due to one of the teams pulling out. The withdrawal necessitates a new draw and that changes our fixtures program.

H A Murdoch Trophy
Congratulations to Paul Carroll who won the H A Murdoch Trophy, our first trophy event for the year. 

Fundraising for Paths, Bridges and Fairway extensions
We are almost at our target with $13,300 being received so far with 24 members having contributed. We are aiming for $13,750 which the club will match $ for $ from the course budget making $27500. 
The fund got a tremendous boost with a member donating $5000 in the last few days.

Modesty forbids me  but someone scored a '3 a 6' on the 10th in Wednesday's stableford competition.  (A nine iron over the gum from 115 metres into the wind pitched 3 metres from the hole and then ran in - whoopee.)
