VETERANS
THE next Sunraysia veteran golfers event is a single medley Stableford at the Robinvale Golf Club on Monday, September 2, and new members are most welcome.
The course will be well presented and the club provides a great lunch.
If you prefer to hire a cart rather than take your own, then contact the clubhouse as soon as possible to make a booking.
Tee-off is a shotgun start at 9.30am.
Robinvale Golf Club is a strong supporter of the association, so It is important that members support this event as their members make the effort to participate and travel to our district events.
