It’s that time of year once again when the warm weather of summer is almost gone, and the cooler weather is fast approaching, which means that the rain and wind of the autumn and the winter months are soon to be upon us.
This however does not mean staying inside, especially when there is an eighteen-hole golf course, with wide fairways, lined with mature native and massive red gum trees, waiting to be played on in Murchison.
The Murchison Golf Club last Sunday held their official 2022 season opening day with around 16 players teeing off at 11am. The day saw teams of two play an eighteen-hole ambrose with callaway scoring and no handicaps required.
Nearest to the pin was Merv Knight and Chris Bolton, and Louie Carmody and Tom Caldow took out the longest drives. Allan Waren and Phil Deane won the overall competition. Murchison Golf Club president, Bob McAdam, hinted at how a couple of inches of rain before opening would have made the course a little better, but it didn’t affect the day.
“The hard work has paid off and the course will only improve with time. We are looking forward to a great season ahead,” said Bob.
The Murchison Golf Club is open seven days a week for all green fee players. The club also welcomes all players to hit off with club members, on Wednesdays at 1pm or 12pm on Sundays. For further information please contact Bob McAdam on 0419 572 657.
