Macksville Country Club GOLF Newsletter 26/10/2025 and 02/11/2025

|

Week Ending Saturday 18/10/2025

Dear Members,

We’d like to apologise for the delay in last week’s newsletter (week ending 26th October 2025). With a busy period around the club and green renovations in full swing, we didn’t quite get the chance to finalise the results in time.

To keep everyone up to date, we’ve combined the results from week ending 26th October and week ending 2nd November 2025 into this edition.

Thank you for your understanding — and as always, we appreciate your continued support, patience, and enthusiasm for everything happening at Macksville Country Club.

Happy golfing,
The Golf Committee
Macksville Country Club

Thank You to Our Members

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and helped out with the green renovations this week. Your time, effort, and teamwork make a world of difference.

The course is looking fantastic, and it’s all thanks to the incredible support of our members who volunteered their time to ensure the greens are in top condition for the months ahead. Without your help, the course simply wouldn’t be the same.

It’s this spirit of community and pride in our club that makes Macksville Country Club such a special place.

Thank you once again — your efforts are truly appreciated by all.
