Last week we were lucky enough to enjoy another perfect day on the golf course. We are seeming to dodge the bad weather days of late.

On Saturday we played an 18 Hole Individual Stableford for our Local Charity Day event, sponsored by Val Durack.

I'd just like to thank the friends and families of ODeep at Yarrawong Daycare for donating some wonderful things for our Trading Table and for our fantastic raffle.

It was all very much appreciated for the success of the day.

Our Overall winner of the day was Helen Hubbard with a nice 37 Stableford points and this was on a count-back from A grade winner Char Lee with 37 also.

Second place in A grade was Lorraine Swain with 35 points and third was Alison Seib with 34 points.

B grade winner was Adele Henry with 35 points with Joy Ritchie in second spot with 34 points on a count-back from third place getter Liz Stair.

Our Drive and Pitches were won by Alison Seib for A grade, Melissa Ward for B grade and Trish Harvey for C grade.

The Overall NTP on the eight hole was won by Lee Pickett.

We had a huge amount of raffle prizes for our Charity Day with the winners being Robyn Newey, Leone Dalton, Marg Pryce, Rhonda Bloomfield, Mick Phillips, Thel Rossi, Susan Hutchinson, Sue Gander, Helen Ross, Doug Westcott and Rel Provost.

Along with the Trading Table we also held a silent auction for a cake Voucher from Fran's Delights and this was won by Melissa Ward.

A Lolly Guessing game donated by Alison Seib was also a good fundraiser, with the closest guess going to Kay Davis. Kay took home a jar with 247 lollies in it!

Thanks to all the Golfing girls who donated goods and opened up their wallets to raise great money on the day.

Tomorrow we will play an 18 Hole Individual Stableford event.

The draw is in today's paper.

Next week the first round of our 2019 54 Hole Ladies Club Champions will be played.

This will run over three weekends, weather permitting that is. \Nomination sheets are up in the ladies room at the club if you would like to participate.

This year we have a new sponsor and that is Regency Jewellers of Orange.

So I'm sure we will have fantastic prizes yet again.

There will still be a lucky door prize if you play in all three rounds, where you go in the draw for a beautiful item of jewellery.

Hope to see you all playing in this and supporting our club.Happy Golfing!

Veteran golfers travelled to Wellington golf club for a game of golf hoping to get away from the cold Bathurst and Orange weather but it was not to be.

The weather was cold and windy making good scores rather difficult but the 61 veteran golfers still enjoyed themselves playing on a well presented golf course considering the very harsh weather conditions we are currently experiencing.

A very friendly welcome by Wellington golf club members and a very nice lunch provided by the Wellington ladies after the game made the trip worthwhile.

The winner in A grade was Wellington member David Ryan with a score of 38 points that included eight pars and only one double bogie for the round.

Greg Morton played very consistent golf to claim second spot with 37 points.

A very tight count-back had to be applied before Hans Jeuken from the Wentworth golf club was declared the winner in front of Geoff Walker from the Wellington club when they both returned a score of 39 points.

Geoff Walker had the early lead after the first nine holes but it was Hans Jeuken who came home the better to take first place.

Glenda Hodge of the Wentworth golf club had two very consistent nines of 17 and 19 for a total of 36 points to take first place in the ladies comp.

The nearest to the pin prizes went to Geoff Smith on the third, Geoff Errey on the eighth, Gerard O'Neill on the 14th and John A. Davis on the 16th. The ball sweep went down to 32 points.

It was nice to get a full round of golf in today.

The weather at the start wasn't very promising and it didn't improve!

Unfortunately, we were a few players down due to the freezing conditions.

Nevertheless, we played and had a good day.

The event was Western District Spoon 18 Hole Stableford.

Congratulations to all the players who will represent Wentworth at Finals Day at Cowra on September 19.

The winner in Division 1 was Anne Field who really hit her straps today to finish with a very impressive 37 points, well done on a great round.

Runner up was Glenda Hodge with a very nice 36 points.

Glenda hits a great ball and has been playing well and in third place Di Selwood played steady golf to finish with 32 points.

Nearest the Pins were won by Jan Moad (third) Joey Bray (13th) and Drive and Pitch by Lee Pickett (ninth) Lee also had an Eagle on the 15th, great golf.
