A BIG day is looming at the Goondiwindi Golf Club next Saturday, March 13, when club stalwarts, Paul and Marty Lynch hold the Elders Insurance Golf Day.
The program will consist of a 4BBB Open Medley Stableford (men and women combinations). The day will start with a 12.30 shotgun start. There will also be a barbecue in operation.
Organisers are expecting a big field and a good day will be assured. The course should be in great condition after the recent rain.
The sodden conditions over the weekend kept scores down and also numbers were down.

Some wise golf quips:
What are the four worst words you could hear during a game of golf? It’s still your turn!
A good one iron shot is about as easy to come by as an understanding wife.
On a sadder note:
