Dalby Golf Club

A great night was had by all at the 100th Anniversary dinner on Saturday night. The club looked absolutely fantastic thanks to our committee members Nicole and Scott with support from Ducky and Ashleigh.
The Wedding Shed team of Janelle and Fred are to be thanked for their expertise and support.
Thank you to Peter Rookas for acting as MC for the evening.
Our special guest Nick O'Hern, thank you for giving our members an insight into life as a touring professional, regaling some stories along the way.
To Heathers Smoko Run for catering the event, top job by you both once again.
Thank you to all who attended the evening, we hope you had a great evening and thank you for supporting the club.

Golf is not an easy game, every time you tee it up you are met with many challenges. Therefore it is important to practice your game to improve.
We encourage our members and social players to do so at the club.
The club has a 300 metres long practice range, along with both a practice chipping green and putting green.
We offer the use of these at no charge, apart from a very generous rate for range balls.
So why then do people feel the need to use the actual fairway and hit multiple balls into a green that is part of the course.
No I don't know either, but rest assured that the people responsible will be asked to leave the facility and not return if we find this again.
You may have gotten away with it this time, but next you may not be so lucky.
Our staff work extremely hard to provide a course for everyone to use, treat it like your own backyard.
Rant over.

The major draw card of a motor vehicle being given away for the 1st hole in one on the 18th unfortunately went begging. The nearest to the hole being about 1 metre away.
