Curlewis Golf Club – March 22, 2018

CONGRATULATIONS to Stan Madden who played in his first Super Veterans (80+) Title at Torquay recently and won in brilliant fashion. Great effort Stan!

It has been a very interesting week at Curlewis. The course was closed while our greens were renovated. This will ensure our greens will once again be slick and true.

The rabbit numbers have diminished rapidly thanks to the variety of methods used. The rabbit proof fence should mean we can control this problem.

The range is humming along beautifully. Golfers have many targets to hone their skills on. The Mini Golf is also quite popular with people of all ages.

Our pennant sides are ready and raring to go. Best of luck and hitting to all of our pennant players.
