September 17, 2026 CommitteePauline RyanLeave a comment

Lovely to see a good field of ladies out on the course today doing battle with the little white ball and a howling wind! The scores indicated that there was plenty of run and wind assistance to be had if you could keep the ball on the fairways. Winners today with a score of 47 were Pauline Benny and Christine Waghorn from Liz Edwards and Fiona Almond with a score of 46. Well done ladies.

Rundown went to Colleen Kelly and Judy Mount 45 Pts; Denise F Culpitt and Marlene Wyatt 45 pts; Myra Biggar and Pauline Ryan 44 pts; Denise Melling and Denise M Culpitt 44 pts; Marilyn Berryman and Lyn Simpson 43 pts ;Maren Cooper and Nancy Douglas 42 pts and Diane Hughes and Helen Evan’s 42 pts.

If you had one of those good scores today make sure you check your handicaps before your next game.

NTP. 7th Div 1 – Barbara Panzram ;Div 2 Helen Evans

16th. Div 1 – Nancy Douglas. Div 2 Denise Melling.

Today we had our annual Tombola stall, thank you ladies for your generous donations of goodies. I’m sure everyone enjoyed selecting items from the table – everything you could think of was available from cakes to plants !!
Next week we will be playing from a temporary tee on the 1st and 10 th holes, please be careful moving onto the course as there will be a lot of work going on in this area. Ladies will still be playing the 1st and 10th as a Par 5. No eagles will be paid on these holes from the temporary tees.

Have a great week and we’ll see everyone next week for a Canadian.

COURSE CHANGE

1st and 10th Tee Changes: A Decision for Safety

Twin Towns has made the decision to change the location of the 1st and 10th tees due to ongoing safety concerns involving golf balls striking nearby homes.

For some time, residents in these houses have faced the risk of golf balls being hit onto their properties. This has raised legitimate concerns about the safety of residents, visitors and the homes themselves.

The tee changes are intended to reduce the risk of golf balls being hit towards residential properties and create a safer environment for everyone.

While changes to the course may take some adjustment for golfers, safety must remain a priority. Twin Towns believes these changes are a necessary step to address the ongoing issue and help protect the surrounding homes and residents.

We appreciate the understanding and cooperation of all members and golfers as these changes are introduced.

MEMBERSHIP FEE’S

September 11, 2026 Committee, Competition News, Pro ShopPatrick TregellasLeave a comment

The Board have met to determine the playing and membership fees effective from 1 October and in doing so have also considered your email below.

We certainly understand that costs of living are a burden for most of the community at this time, and the cost of business increases are also significant, and that combined with government rules restricting our ability to support the golf course from ClubGrant funding, the cost burden of the golf course is significantly greater and as a result price increases must reflect the cost of business. Please note, that although prices will increase significantly again this year, the golf course continues to be a significant loss operation and is continuing to be supported by the Club with a significant subsidy.

The new golf fees, effective 1 October 2026, have been determined as follows:

Type	Current Fees	Fees commencing 1 October 2026
Golf Membership	$610 (Inc $80 to section)	$700 (Inc $80 to section)
Social Membership	$535	$615
Golf Member/Junior/Social	$13.50/$17.50	$15.50/20.50
Comp Fee (as per section)	$4.50	$4.50
TT Member/Guest/Visitor/Group	$24/$37	$28/$43
Golf Member after 3pm	Free	Free
