MACKSVILLE Juniors Crowned NSW Country Club of the Year.
Macksville Country Club’s junior golfers are celebrating a major achievement after receiving the prestigious Jack Newton Award for NSW Country Junior Club of the Year.
Coach Matt Baker is pictured with the junior golfers who have helped secure the award. Matt conducts coaching sessions on Monday and Friday evenings, catering for players of all abilities and stages of development.
Among the juniors are players who already hold handicaps and are eligible to compete in club competitions, others who are working towards obtaining a handicap, and younger golfers keen to learn and improve their game.
Matt’s coaching extends beyond simply teaching players how to hit a golf ball, with an important focus on understanding the rules of golf and club etiquette.
A-Graders Dominate Saturday’s Stroke Event
Saturday’s stroke event, sponsored by Steve Riddell’s Callisto Computing, proved a successful day for the A-graders.
Mark Ziebel, playing off a handicap of eight, claimed the Medal with the best nett score, winning on a countback from Alan Clarke, who plays off a handicap of three.
Alan took home the Spoon for the best gross score, while fellow A-grader Gary Clarke finished as second runner-up.
Midweek and Chook Run Results
The Midweek competition continues to enjoy strong support, with Mitchell George taking the win and Bec Spear finishing runner-up.
The nine-hole Chook Run saw Peter Harper claim victory, with Ron McDonald finishing in the silver medal position.
Max Graham once again demonstrated his consistency, taking out the nearest-the-pin prize.
Congratulations to all competitors and, in particular, to Matt Baker and the junior golfers on their outstanding NSW Country Junior Club of the Year achievement.
