Bookings are essential over Easter due to the number of people wishing to play golf over this long weekend.
The Tuesday after Easter is also a public holiday for Anzac Day, so if you play on Tuesdays and you wish to still have your round please make sure you book in. A stableford event will be played on this holiday.
The following week is men’s par (four-man teams event) followed by the May monthly medal.

Congratulations to the following four pairs who will play this Thursday. Shirley Roberts comes up against Kay Jones, Marg Andrews and Liz Garvey compete, Yvonne Barret and Jan Creagh play against one another and last but not least are Sue King and Jenny Bayard. The overflow event is par.
Ladies pennant commenced on Monday and good luck to the divisions for the season.
Many thanks to the Pakenham lady members who are spending time with the Tuesday beginners who participated in ‘Give Golf a Go’.
It is lovely to see such enthusiasm from these new ladies and as always they received a warm Pakenham welcome.
