THE success or otherwise of a club like ours depends largely on the volunteers willing to do the huge variety of tasks that are essential to its smooth running. One person who puts in more voluntary hours than probably anyone at PGC is David Bond, our Board member and Secretary for the past 11 years. \u201cBondy\u201d was justly rewarded recently by being named \u201cClub Official of the Year\u201d at the recent Community Clubs Victoria Awards night. His unwavering passion for Portarlington Golf Club has been exemplary, and winning this award is due recognition of the outstanding qualities he continues to demonstrate.<\/p>\n

Pat Worsley\u2019s 74 won her the C Grade voucher on a c\/b from Susan May, and Jill Barker was is good form to top A Grade with 74 on a c\/b from Jill Peppard.
