This Weeks event - Individual stableford sponsored by Kyabram Veterinary Clinic "Black Sock Day" being a two hit off time event however, weather permitting afternoon time would be preferred for play.
LADIES WEDNESDAY GOLF: There was just one grade for Valley View women in last Wednesday’s Stableford round. Leanne Busch was the winner with 32 points closely followed by Judy Greer with 31 points. The rapid growth on both the fairways and greens and the rain which delayed mowing probably explains the low scores.
