Secretary report 2026

Secretary report for the year 2026

I would like to start this report by offering a big vote of thanks to the clubs who so generously open their golf courses during the year to allow our members to participate in the game we love to play on Mondays. The club’s generosity is very much appreciated by all of us.

I would also like to thank our members for the way they have supported the golf program throughout the year. Attendance to our games increased from 1,712 players in 2025 to 2,151 players this year. The increase in attendance has subsequently increased the income generated to the clubs in competition fees from $48,438.00 in 2025 to $ 61,304.00. An increase of 20% for the year. See golf activities report below.

The reasons for the increase can be put down to the cordial welcome and hospitality we receive from all the clubs and the excellent way the golf courses are presented. It is a privilege to be able to play on some of the most interesting golf courses in the Central West.

Unfortunately, due a shortfall of supporting volunteers Blayney golf club will not be able to host any vets’ competitions next year. However, we are negotiating with Cowra and Mudgee vets with the possibility of organising two visits to each club during 2027. We will keep you inform of proceeding.

Finally, a big thank you to President John Cowell, Treasurer David Gates, Captain David Agst and all the Club delegates who had work so hard all year to ensure that we continue to enjoy playing our wonderful game of vets golf every Monday.

Good golfing everyone and may the Gods of Golf be kind to you.

Manuel Pro
Secretary
