Macksville Country Club GOLF Newsletter WE Saturday 16/05/2026

The cooler weather has certainly started to make itself felt around the course, with crisp mornings giving way to ideal golfing conditions across the week at Macksville Country Club. Members were treated to another busy run of competitions, with competitive scoring in both weekend and midweek events and a good mix of familiar names and emerging players featuring throughout the results. Congratulations to all of this week’s winners, placegetters, ball winners, and novelty prize recipients, with several players continuing a consistent run of form as the season progresses. The course continues to hold up well despite the changing conditions, and it has been pleasing to see strong participation across all competitions. A sincere thank you also goes to our sponsors, volunteers, committee members, and everyone behind the scenes who help keep golf running smoothly at the Club each week.

Completing a Scorecard

As a reminder to all players, scorecards submitted after competitions must be completed clearly and correctly. Recently, a number of cards handed in have been difficult to read or missing important details, such as player names, totals, dates, markers’ signatures, and other required information. This creates unnecessary delays and difficulties when finalising competition results at the end of the day.

While golf has always been built on honesty and integrity, it also relies on players taking responsibility for correctly completing and checking their scorecards before submission. Under the Rules of Golf set out by the R&A, players are responsible for ensuring their card is accurate and properly completed. In previous years, incomplete or incorrect cards often led to disqualification, and while we aim to keep competitions enjoyable and relaxed, maintaining basic standards is important for the smooth running and fairness of the competitions.

The Golf Committee asks all players to please take an extra moment before submitting their cards to ensure they are legible, signed, correctly totalled, and contain all required details. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and helps volunteers and committee members process results.
