Country Week Concludes
Men’s & Ladies Country Week matches have concluded.
East Gippsland Golf was represented in the Country Week contest with both men’s & ladies teams.
The men were in Division 2 and had a solid competition, eventually finishing third overall, with 1 win, two tied and 1 loss. They tied with eventual winner, West Gippsland DGA, and that was the closest any team got to West Gippsland as they swept all before them.
East Gippsland Women were in Division 1, having been promoted the year before. A couple of late withdrawals due to injury and illness unsettled what would have been a strong team and unfortunately success was never obtained. East Gippsland women will be relegated to Division 2 next year where they hope to re group and have a repeat of their 2018 success.
Thank you to all players, caddies and team officials who attended Country Week and represented our District.

Vale Barb Varney
It’s with great sadness that we advise the passing of long time Orbost stalwart, Barbara Varney.
Barb passed way on the 14th September, 2019, after suffering a stroke. Barb and husband Kevin were both long time members of the Orbost Golf Club and contributed many hours to the success of the club.
A wonderful lady, Barb had been off the course for a while but always talked about getting back to play.
Vale Barb - a beautiful lady and fine golf club member at rest.
Deepest sympathy to Kevin and the family on behalf of all members in the East Gippsland Golf District.

South Pines doing it for Jarrod
The PGA supported #doingitforjarrod fundraiser to raise money for Challenge (Supporting kids with cancer) was embraced by South Pines Golf Club during their recent Club Championships.
The club donated the ‘fines’ money over the three rounds and on the last round requested members make a golf coin donation. Food was sold with the takings donated, together with Leuk the Duck merchandise. The Junior Clinic also donated the fees collected for the mornings clinic and in total, $500 was raised.
