Dear Member

On 24 September an email was sent to all members advising them of the upcoming transition to Golf Connect.

In that email members were asked to do the following.

“Prior to the October 2 transition, the only thing you need to do is check your existing golf.org.au account details are up to date. If you don’t already have an online account, and you wish to view your handicap history online or use the new GA App following the transition, you will need to create an account at golf.org.au. From October 2, golf.org.au will automatically redirect to the new GOLF.com.au website”

The transition has now happened and we are now receiving a number of calls and emails from members who are not able to access the new online account likely because they don’t have an email or their details have not been updated.

If this issue has happened to you please send an email to manager@morningtongolf.com.au with your correct email and we will update it when we can. 

If you checked and updated your details before the transition occurred the you should be able to create your new account by clicking HERE

What a day at MGC to celebrate the Grand Final Eve holiday!  We had sunshine, wind, rain, cold, heat and 160 players in the afternoon field, which must be some sort of record.

The music was pumping from all areas of the course as our members really let their hair down and enjoyed the fun, less serious format of Four Person Ambrose. 

The theme was to dress in your footy teams colours and so many members turned up in their colourful guernseys which made the day more special.  One team in particular put in a fantastic effort to dress up for the day and they took home the Best Dressed prize.  Congratulations to the team of Laura Menzel, Marg Blackmore, Peita Cooper and Ange Stephens who dressed up themselves and their golf cart in the colours of Geelong Cats! Well done girls!

The golf was secondary to the occasion but there was still bragging rights of 1st place up for grabs among the competitive members here at MGC!

Taking home the 1st place prize with a superb score of Nett 57.5 was Jack Macdonald, Dave Fenwick, Thomas Bish and Thomas Patterson, well done guys!

Runners up were Gavin Artico, Shane Bremner, Troy Wallington and Kane Grose just 0.25 behind on 57.75!

Thanks to all the members who made the day so special.

24 Pairs took to the course this Sunday, under very challenging conditions, to play for the Robert Forsyth Memorial Trophy.

The format of this event is Canadian Foursomes, with both players teeing off, and then playing alternate shots until the ball is holed.

The Trophy was tightly contested, with Marg Blackmore and Michael Haderup’s 73.875 beating out Peter and Melinda Bennett-Hullin by a single shot, to win the event. Abby Coombes and Rob Cooper took home best gross for the afternoon with an 80 off the stick.

Congratulations to the winners, and well done to everyone for persevering throughout the very difficult afternoon!
