Veteran Women Golfers' Association of NSW (VWGA)

I have been lucky enough to have completed some overseas travel since our last edition. I would like to thank our Vice President, Virginnia Hewitt, for standing in for me.

Unfortunately, Beverley Park had to be cancelled due to a lack of numbers. This may have been due to the early date in the year, 28th February. We have now made another date for this event in August. A new entry form will be sent out to all delegates and be put onto our web site when we have confirmed that date.

Tamworth’s two-day country tournament was a success and reported on by Virginnia. Unfortunately, I missed this one. I was back onboard for Eastlakes but only just. Our next Metropolitan event is at The Coast, 8th April. This closed its books with 108 entries. A very good roll up. Mollymook, which will not be held until 1st/2nd July has already closed with 132 entrants. I have been asked by the ladies who oversee our finances, to ask you to please pay for your events together, when playing in a team or a 2-ball event, not individually. 

Lastly, I would like to see if there are any ladies out there who would like to join us on the VWGA committee. We need ladies who are willing to give us one day a week in the office which is in the CBD. Computer skills would be preferable. Could suit someone who has just retired and is looking for something to do. It is a very busy office with lots to do, but we also manage to have lots of fun. Please come and join
us. Good health and good golfing. See you at the next tournament.

Please be advised that the VWGA event at Beverley Park GC has been cancelled because of limited entries.

Details to be sent to : accounts.vwga@bigpond.com

I hope that you have all had a very good festive season and that 2024 brings you all health and happiness.

We start this edition with mention of our last event of 2023. This was Penrith held on the 7th December. All details are listed later in the newsletter. I was a little disappointed that the “Christmas Theme” wasn’t a success but maybe we can advertise it a bit more for Windsor in December.

The office is now back to business and ready for another year. The yearly programme and all entry forms are on our web at: https://vwgansw.org.au/tournaments/and have also been emailed to all delegates.

Just a reminder of the Country Tournaments for 2024. Please come and join us for a fun couple of days
away.

1. Tamworth 22-23 February

2. Mollymook 1-2 July

3. Coolangatta 1-2 August

4. Bathurst 11-12 November

Our first two Metropolitan tournaments are Beverley Park on 26th February and Eastlake 12th March. You may be taken aback when you see the cost of Eastlake but please note that it does include a golf cart and a light lunch. Because of the configuration of the course a cart is a necessity.

Hope to see you around the traps. Good golfing to you all.
