Record breaking funds raised! Well Done to everyone!

What an absolutely amazing day for Jarrod Lyle Day! 💛

It was fantastic to see so many yellow shirts around the club and so many members making the effort to get behind such a special day. The atmosphere was brilliant, and there was a real sense of community from the moment everyone arrived.

And what a result! We raised a record-breaking $964 through the raffle and the incredibly generous donations from our Men and Ladies members. That’s a fantastic achievement and a wonderful way to honour Jarrod and continue to celebrate his legacy.

The course was in pristine condition, with some fun pin placements adding an extra challenge to the day. Full credit to Brando and the boys for presenting the course so well.

A massive shoutout to Galileo’s Pizza for supplying the pizzas after the round. As always, they were absolutely fantastic — you just can’t beat them! Thanks so much to Brad and Steve for getting that organised.

A huge thank you also goes to Twin Towns and Twinnies Gives for sponsoring the winners’ $50 vouchers. Your generosity and support are very much appreciated.

And a special thank you to all the ladies who joined our competition today. Being a Medley made it fantastic to see everyone getting involved and enjoying the day together.

It was also great to see Shane Vanderlight back out on the course and getting himself off the lounge despite that troublesome knee injury! There are a few theories floating around about the cause — some say it might be overuse of the golf simulator, while others reckon the whipper snipper might have had something to do with it! 😂 Either way, it was great to see you back out there, Shane.

NARGA Winners

A big congratulations to our NARGA winners — Brent Mclennan, Perce Dempsey, Walter Fisk and John Mcloughlin — who all took home a well-deserved stubbie cooler.

A Bittersweet Goodbye to the Old Layout

I hope everyone enjoyed what could be their last tee-off from the 1st and 10th on the current layout.

It was certainly a little sad for a lot of us who have loved having the only true par 5 on the course sitting there as part of the challenge. It’s a hole that has given us plenty of great memories over the years, and it will definitely be missed.

Now we look forward to the next chapter. Let’s hope the new par 4 proves to be a real challenge and continues to hold its place as Index 1 and 2.

All in all, what a way to celebrate Jarrod Lyle Day — great golf, plenty of yellow shirts, fantastic food, incredible generosity and, most importantly, a whole lot of people coming together for a great cause.

Thank you to everyone who played, donated, bought raffle tickets, wore yellow, supported our sponsors and helped make Jarrod Lyle Day such a memorable day. 💛
