Macksville Country Club GOLF Newsletter WE Sunday 16/11/2025

Week Ending Saturday 15/11/2025

Dear Members,

Following on from last week’s strong scoring, our competitions continued to deliver some excellent results across the board. The course is responding well to the recent rain, top-dressing, and fertiliser, and it’s great to see members making the most of the improved conditions. Thank you again to everyone for your ongoing support and enthusiasm around the club.

Choock run Handicapper has their work cut out for them with those scores, and i think everyone is liking a bit of run around the course. Another week of 18 players at 36pts or better this week, with Phil McWilliam with the best score of the day on Saturday.

Below are the full results from Midweek Comp 238, Ladies Golf, Chook Run, and the 15 November Single Stableford.
