A crowd of roughly 100 people turned up for our special Rock 'n' Roll night on 19 June 2009.  Patty Day was in sparking form with her Elvis Presley costume!  It was great to see so many members getting into the spirit and hitting up the dance floor.  You can view a number of photos from the night by clicking here.

The Mixed Foursomes Championship is an honour board event to be played on Sunday, 12 July. For those unable to find a partner or unwilling to take on this 36-hole endurance test, we have added a separate 18-hole single stableford competition to be played in the afternoon. It will be off the 10th tee from between 10:50am and 12:35pm. The timesheets for both competitions are now released.

As the Patron's Day competition on Saturday, 27 June 2009 was washed out, it has been rescheduled and will now be played on Saturday, 8 August 2009.

Herbie Grunow and Greg Webb have taken out the 2009 RW Wilson Memorial for the fourth time. They defeated Steve Sinclair and Gary Day in the final by a margin of 4&3. The full draw with all the results can be viewed by clicking on the following link.

We have made two small changes to the members' competition timesheets to help alleviate slow play.  There will now be 7 minute intervals between all groups (as opposed to 6 minute gaps) and the first afternoon group on a Saturday will now tee off at 10:50am.  You can find out more by clicking here.

The 2009 pennant season has come to a close with Virginia finishing 3rd in Division 2. It was a tight race for the pennant with the team suffering two narrow losses (11-10) against Nudgee and Royal Queensland. It was Royal Queensland who took the title and earned promotion to Division 1. 

A sincere thanks to Shayn Barnham (The Golf Barn) and Greg Webb (Black & White Cabs) for their sponsorship this season. Thanks also to all our supporters and caddies. A few photos of the players in action can be found by clicking here.
