Summer Ringers 2024-2025
A great start to the 2024/25 Summer Ringers Competition with 43 participants entered so far... with a number of others still to register. Don't miss out on this FUN competition that runs for 13 rounds as you try to achieve your best gross score on each individual hole with the weekly rounds counting down to the final week in February 2025. Put you name down on the Ringers Entry sheet in the Pro Shop this Saturday(s) and pay your $10 entry fee. Any qualifying round played prior to entry fee being paid will be included. If you start having a few bad holes during your round, all is not lost as you can refocus on the holes left and bettering the best carded scores on them.
