Proserpine Veterans Golf

What a glorious day it was to be out on the golf course for the 2024 Closed Championship. The event saw 35 players, including two visitors: Stephen Guy from Toronto Golf Club, who played with us last week, and James House from Margaret River Golf Club—a long way from home. We hope they enjoyed their day with the Prossie Vets and look forward to seeing them again on our course.
The course was a delight to play today. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition, surprising some players and delighting others who made impressive scores.

Many thanks to all who participated. Well done to the winners! We hope everyone enjoyed themselves and look forward to seeing you all on the course again soon.
