Hello Members, Sponsors & Patrons

The Dunsborough & Districts Country Club officially passed the 800 members last week.  It is great to see the Club moving forward and the membership increasing.

New Club shirts are available to be purchased.  If you are interested please email me your size and I will order them for you.  They are $35 each.

The Club will not be having the traditional Melbourne Cup luncheon on this year.  It will be a very informal “Come as you are casual Cup” No dress up required.  We will be having the race televised, sweep tickets and mystery bet tickets available.  There will be a choice of Wagyu beef or chicken burger with a pint of beer, glass of wine or champagne for $15. Come along and enjoy the day.  All are welcome to attend.

 Golfer- Caddy Quips!

Lee Trevino said  ,”Caddies are a breed of their own. If you shoot 66, they say,

“Man , we shot 66!” But go out and shoot 77, they say,”Hell, he shot 77!”

Jackie Gleeson- “Obviously the deer on the fairway has seen you tee off before and knows that the safest place to be when you play  is right down the middle.”

I think our kangaroos at Dunsborough probably think the same!   Cheers.

The Golf section will be holding their AGM on November 11 2015 commencing at 10 am.

Nomination form for Committee and the Agenda are on the Men’s Golf Section notice board.

All golf members are encouraged to attend.
