Dear Members,
I have completed the 2024-25 golf program. The full program can be found on our website under > Competitions > Program.

Following widespread consultation and with the assistance of the match committees and the endorsement of the main committee, I have decided to stay with our current program structure. This means that Presentation Day will be April 6 next year (perhaps I might win something one year) and the Club Champs start on April 13 (we have allowed one extra week for catchup in case of bad weather)

The main highlights of the 24-25 season are:

• Open Day 6th April 2024
• Club Championships 13th April to 11th May (18th May reserved as extra day if needed)
• Spring Cup 14th September – 28th September
• Summer Cup 28th December – 8th February
• Autumn Cup 8th March – 15th March
• Handicap match play 12th October – 2nd November
• Ham & Turkey Day 21st December with an 8.30 start
• Foursomes 18th January – 25th January

We are publishing the program well in advance to try and provide plenty of advance warning for those keen golfers who also like to get away during the season.

The good news is that the weather forecasts suggest we should have good conditions for some time ahead (mind you, they said the same to Morocco!) - so we will be playing a lot more than last year.

“Let’s remember - we come to golf to have fun"

After the course was looking near perfect on Wednesday Echunga received 34mm of rain Thursday and overnight into today. Unfortunately this means that the course is quite wet again and due to the likely small number of players the competition planned for Saturday 9th September has been cancelled.

The course is still open (front nine only) and the clubhouse will be open for limited hours, however there will be no carts available for use.

Fingers crossed that this is the last of the regular rain and with some sunny and warm days forecast the course should recover quite quickly from this latest down pour and be looking good for golf very soon.
