Welcome to the New Format!
Dear Members,
We’re excited to introduce a fresh new format for our MCC Golf Members Newsletter — designed to keep you informed, connected, and up to date with everything happening around the course.
Each edition will now include:
- 🏌️♂️ Weekly Competition Results – Winners, runners-up, and ball rundown.
- 🏆 Ladies & Chook Run Updates – Celebrating performances across all competitions.
- 📅 Upcoming Events & Key Dates – So you’ll never miss a game.
- 📸 Club Highlights – A place to share special moments and achievements.
Our aim is to make this newsletter clear, engaging, and easy to read, while celebrating the great golf community we have here at Macksville.
We welcome your feedback and contributions — if you’ve got a great photo, story, or result to share, send it through to the Club Office or speak to a committee member.

Golfers please take note:
As I am sure you are all aware, the club is struggling for finances due to the terrible weather we have been having. On Saturday 12th October it will be a Single Stableford with a shotgun start at 7am for the Saturday comp. We have a social booking at 1200 for a shotgun start with all carts plus an extra 2 from members and all these people will be staying for dinner as well. Please make them feel welcome as this will be much needed income for our club. All club carts are booked for this group but there are tee positions if late groups want go at 1200 but be aware that this social group is also out there. Please notify Brad Fortescue if you wish to be at a 1200 tee off.
