Newsletter — October 2026

Hi Everyone,

💬 From the President

G'day everyone,

October is our big month. The Fred Campbell $10,000 Hole in One Ambrose is on this Sunday, and the Chicken Run is back on Tuesdays from next week. The course is in pretty good knick after the spring fertilising, and there's a story from the club's early days below that's worth a read. Plenty on — see you on the fairways.

Cheers,
Pete

• And once a month the BBQ fires up after the run

Carts are available for hire through the twilight times — book online at wentygolf.com or ring the club. Round up a few mates and give it a run.

📜 A Step Back in Time — Minutes Dating Back to 1913

While tidying up, we found club minutes dating back to 1913 — a window into how long golf has been played here on the river, and how the club found its feet long before us.

The plan is to have a proper look through them and share the stories — including how the club recovered after the 2022 flooding — maybe in the Sunraysia Daily. The Historical Society has first option on the originals; if not, they'll be displayed in the club's display cupboard. We'll keep you posted as they're sorted.

🌿 Course & Maintenance

All greens (a redo on the 10th) and tees have been fertilized, the fairways got their spring spray, and watering is back on. The course is in pretty good knick — come and see for yourself. A big thanks as always to our volunteers who keep it that way.

See you out on the course — keep it in the short grass.
