Saturday 28th September is Grand Final Day. 
Play golf in the morning and watch the footy at the club in the afternoon. The golf will be a standard stableford event, not the Pinehurst as in previous years. So register online as usual. 

The club will have bacon and egg rolls for the early starters and a sausage sizzle for lunch. There will be plenty of refreshments available and a great opportunity to have a day of golf, footy and good friendship at the club.

Our greens will be cored on Tuesday  24th September - so the course will be CLOSED for that day.

Note - this is recorded as Monday 23rd in The Putter and our Program - but this is incorrect. The date is Tuesday 24th September, all day.

I invite you to attend the Echunga Golf Club Women's AGM 

Date: Wednesday 16th October 2019

Congratulations to the Echunga C1 men's pennant team. They beat McLaren Vale on 7th July at Aston HIlls GC, 4 1/2 to 2 1/2. The final team was: Warren (Wazza) Ryan, Peter "Angry" Anderson, Darren "Bloody" Wilson, Ray (The Pres) D'Alessandro, Rob (Skip) Eibisch, Martin Henderson and Wazza 's Twin Andy Amberg (front). Thanks to the caddies and the gallery on the day you were a great support to the players.

Because of recent rainfall and the risk of damage to the course, the committee has decided that until further notice NO CARTS will be allowed on course.

The committee and the green keepers will closely monitor the situation and advise as soon as conditions improve sufficient to allow carts on course once again.

Apologies for the inconvenience caused, but the protection of our course is very important for all members.

Congratulations to both women's pennant teams for their wins today. The finals were played at Mt Compass in beautiful weather and with good spirits and comraderie. The format was Handicap Match-play and several games went to the 18th and 19th holes.
