I have sad news that our retired member Betty Kuskopf has recently passed away.
Betty was a long time member having played way back in the eighties and long into the 2000’s . She served on our Ladies Committee and was a long time Treasurer.
In later years Betty became a resident of Fairways Nursing home and earlier this year moved to Brisbane to be cared for by family.
Sadly Betty passed away earlier this month and we send our sincere condolences to her family. 🌹🌹
Pauline R, Ladies Captain.
The family of the late Bev Culpitt advises golfers who knew Roy and Bev both on and off the Golf Course that a life Celebration for Bev will be held at Club Banora dome ( near Restraunt) at 2pm next Wednesday 26th .
You are cordially invited to attend if able.

What a championship it was! There were telagraph pole being hit golf balls, players disappearing into mud swamps, and even partners who normally play together deciding to play apart — only to go out and have the games of their lives! We even had a playoff thrown into the mix. Overall a fun and entertaining day.
Despite all the recent rain, the course was in beautiful condition, and full credit has to go to Brandon and the boys in the big green shed for keeping everything looking so good.
Another championship done and dusted, and congratulations to everyone who took part.
Division A – Gross: Garry Dowding took the honours with an impressive 309 (0), collecting the $100 voucher. Aaron Garland was runner-up with 312 (6) and picked up the $75 voucher.
Division A – Net: Patrick Ganet finished on top with 288 (11) to take the $75 voucher, with Michael Kemp recording 292 (7) for the $50 voucher.
Division B – Gross: John Faust claimed the division with a playoff with 352 (14) and the $100 voucher. Charles Huff also returned 353 (13) to take the $75 voucher.
Division B – Net: Mitch Taylor came out on top with 288 (16), earning the $75 voucher. Les Browning followed with 292 (17) for the $50 voucher.
Division C – Gross: Darren Hubery led the way with 380 (20) and collected the $100 voucher. Tony Waller finished with 382 (21) for the $75 voucher.
Division C – Net: Rick Downes claimed the division with 292 (23) and the $75 voucher, while Steve Salter finished on 295 (24) to take the $50 voucher.
And a big shout-out to Aaron Garland, who had an outstanding 73 off the stick in A Grade and looked solid all day.
Aaron, it looks like Kyle has been holding you back all these years, mate! 😂
Congratulations to all our division winners, place-getters and everyone who battled their way through the conditions and 4 rounds of stroke. Another championship is in the books!
A Grade Champion yet again, Garry Dowding with Runer up Aaron Garland who played like a man possessed.

14th Hole..Michael Kemps ball gently rested just inside the water hazard and we all gave great advice to just go for it. The shot happens, it’s miss hit and Kempy falls forward into the swamp of no return. It took Dave Killions 5 iron to pull him out. No animals were harmed in this rescue mission.
Good luck On monday with your surgery Charlie Huff. You will come back with more swing speed and power.
Have a great weekend.

Respect the Course: Pace of Play and Awareness
Golf is a game we all enjoy, and part of enjoying your round is making sure everyone on the course feels comfortable, safe and respected.
We all have a responsibility to keep up with the pace of play, but maintaining pace does not mean hitting up on the group in front of you.
Know Your Distances
Please be aware of the golfers ahead of you at all times and know your own distances and capabilities.
If there is a group in front of you, please do not hit simply because you think you cannot reach them. If there is any doubt, wait.
The group in front may be closer than you realise, may be moving back into position, or may simply not have anywhere to go. Your ball being in the air serves no purpose if the group ahead is still within range.
When in doubt, don’t hit.
The same applies when approaching greens, tees and fairways. Take a moment, look ahead and make sure the way is clear before playing your shot.
Please Don’t Take Matters Into Your Own Hands
We also ask members not to approach or tell fellow golfers to hurry up, particularly while they are playing their round.
We understand that slow play can be frustrating, but confronting or pressuring another group can make an enjoyable day uncomfortable for everyone.
If you believe there is an issue with the pace of play, please leave it until the end of your round and let a committee member know. You can also put your concerns in writing or email the Golf Committee at:
golfcommittee@twintowns.com.au
This allows the matter to be addressed appropriately and respectfully.
A Little Common Sense Goes a Long Way
At the end of the day, we are all here to have fun, enjoy the day and play golf.
Please:
Good golf etiquette is about more than pace of play — it’s about safety, common sense and respect for everyone sharing the course.
Let’s all do our part to make Twin Towns Golf Club a place where everyone can enjoy their round.
