Marking the centenary of the Shepparton Golf Club, a number of events will be taking place. Starting off on Tuesday, April 5, there will be an invitation-only luncheon to be held at the club.

Following on from that, on Saturday, April 9, there will be a Centenary Gala Dinner held at the club to enable members to join together to celebrate this extraordinary milestone in the club’s history and tickets are now available.

Guests will be seated on tables of eight for this “once in a century event” and places will be keenly sought after, so please contact the office and book your table or seats as required. Tickets cost $75 per person and a three-course dinner will be provided.

No centenary of a golf club would be complete without playing a few rounds of golf, so there will be a golf-day on Sunday, April 10, which will request players to come in period dress symbolising an era within the last 100 years. This will be a chance for players to break out their plus-fours and tartan socks to complete the look of a bygone era.

Another event will include the 25 year internment of a time capsule in July. Envelopes will be available online very shortly for this event at $25 each per envelope.

The club’s major tournament, open to all, will be the Centenary Easter tournament, a three-day event held on the Saturday 16, Sunday 17 and Monday 18 of April.
