Thursday 5 th February News.
We are off to a good start for the year , sorry we can’t have fun games every week! There needs to be a balance so we play some games that you get handicapped on and some team games We need to have trophy donors to run team games and our numbers are not growing , we do have some new members and they are very welcome but we have also had a few who have retired. If you plan to be a trophy donor you would be very welcome see Judy for details.
Our Special Events start with our first Monthly Medal on 5th March. Kaye is collecting the annual fees for this . You need to have nominated and paid before the first game so Kaye can set up for her calculations.
The next Thursday coming out on our booking sheet is a 2 person Ambrose , if you want to book a group in for that please text Pat or Kaye by Tuesday morning. We are having a stroke round this month to get us warmed up for the Monthly Medals!!
This Thursday we hope to be able to discuss the options for a new club shirt.
The AGM is on the 21st March at 8 am followed by a shotgun start open to everyone. Be there so you can have your say about what you like and don’t like. Remember the Ladies Captains Position is open and waiting for nominations!
Cheers from Captain Liz and our hardworking committee

Don`t forget no golf next Monday. (Australia Day)
The one and only Garry Dowding, The Club Champion for the past 3 years running, Foursomes Champion, Mixed foursomes Champion, +2 Marker and a good bloke and great mate and golf teacher, although it hasn’t helped me recently but I’m sure everyone knows Garry or has at least heard Garry on the course or seen him out on the practice range.
In the many years I’ve known Garry and played golf with Garry, I’ve never seen a more confident and consistent player. If you ever see a spare spot in a tee slot with Garry’s name, make sure you join and see Garry play. Garry makes the golf of golf look so easy and most of the time its always a fun round when your in Garry’s group.
Garry Dowding will be competing in the NSW Amateur Championship in Sydney next week. The field size for the Championship will be 264 players (132 men, 132 women). Within this Championship, Garry will contest the NSW Medal. The NSW Medal is played over two courses. It is two rounds of 18-holes stroke play for the men’s field, played over two days. The field is divided between the two venues for the first day’s play with players changing venues for their second round. The winner of the 36 holes stroke play section of the Championship is the winner of the NSW Medal. The leading 32 players from the NSW Medal will advance to the 3rd & 4th Rounds. Within that event the NSW CHAMPION of CHAMPIONS will be decided, which is all the Club Champions from each nominated club.
Garry will be heading down to Sydney this week to play a few practice rounds at the below courses in preparation for the NSW Championship.
27th January – Round 1 at Oatlands Golf Club – Sydney
28th January – Round 2 at Strathfield Golf Club. – Sydney
It’s my honor as Men’s Captain of Club Banora to announce we will be sponsoring Garry to represent Club Banora at this event. We have covered his entry fee’s and a box of ProV1’s with “GD” on them.
Good Luck GD and we all wish you the very best and the whole Club is behind you. In your own words Garry, “Positive thoughts bring’s positive outcomes”

A great day was had by all. Nobody left empty handed. A big thank you to all involved on the day and for all the wonderful donations.
One of our golf bags was won by Brian and Marilyn Brown who put the bag up for auction, this auction fetched $150 and that money has been donated to Twinnies Gives. The winners of the auction John Sulejmani handed the bag back for us to run a raffle during 2026 with the monies to be donated to Twinnies Gives.
