Week Ending Saturday 29/11/2025

⛳ A Big Congratulations to Our Winners!

What a fantastic week of golf at Macksville Country Club! Congratulations to all our winners and placegetters across the weekend and midweek competitions. It’s great to see such strong numbers on the course and plenty of quality scores rolling in. A special well done to those who claimed division honours and to everyone who featured in the ball rundown.

Whether you shot the lights out or simply enjoyed the company and the walk, thank you for continuing to make MCC a great place to play golf and an even better community to be part of.

Eclectic – Sunday 7/12/2025

The Eclectic Playoff will take place this Sunday, with players teeing off at 2:00 pm. Two groups of nine players will start from the 1st tee. After each hole, the player (or players) with the lowest Stableford score will be eliminated. No one will be eliminated on the first hole.

If players are tied for the lowest score at the end of a hole, a chip-off will determine who progresses. Players will chip from a marked area around the green, and the golfer whose ball finishes closest to the pin will advance.

The winners of each group will then face off on the 18th hole to decide the overall champion.

The two groups are as follows:

Group 1

• M. O’Brien
• J. Welsh
• R. McDonald
• P. Bambury
• R. Donnelly
• B. Forty
• K. Cooper
• M. Baker
• T. Grebert
