The New Year’s Purse will take place on Saturday and is set to be the first big competition for the year.

Owner Peter Snelling said it has been a much quieter week than usual attributing the school holidays.

“We have a lot of families who are playing golf with their children which is great to see,” Snelling said.

“They like to get away from their computers and have a walk around the course. It’s lovely out there and it’s great exercise.

“It’s a game where you can play individually.”

Every Tuesday and Saturday’s are competition days starting from 8am.

“Any player with a golflink handicap can play in these competitions,” Snelling said.

In last Thursday’s social competition, Darryl Swan won the (front nine) competition, followed by Steve Grant (back nine) and the Accuracy Drive sponsored by Moya Valley Poultry was Steve Grant.
