Whitsunday Golf Club Celebrated 2024 in Style

The Whitsunday Golf Club wrapped up its final official event of the year with a farewell lunch and presentation at the Reef Gateway Hotel on Saturday, 23 November. The event, which brought together club members and supporters, was a heartwarming celebration of the club’s journey, particularly honouring the efforts of Kerry Hall, who played a pivotal role in reviving the club in years past.

The afternoon was filled with laughter, fun, and nostalgia, as members reflected on the memorable moments shared over the years. A special thank you was extended to the club’s generous sponsors, whose support has been integral to the club’s success. These sponsors include Reef Gateway Hotel, Airlie Panel & Paint, Master Butchers Whitsunday, RADS, and Whitsunday Concrete Constructions, along with many other individuals who have contributed their time and resources to make the club a welcoming community.

The event also featured a fantastic slide show, created by Jo, that highlighted the club’s many adventures and trips. From Halliday Bay, Pioneer Valley, and Eungella to 12 trips to Magnetic Island, these outings were filled with laughter, camaraderie, and, of course, plenty of good-natured sledging. These trips and memories have become an integral part of what made the Whitsunday Golf Club such a unique and cherished group.

As the year draws to a close, the Whitsunday Golf Club expressed its gratitude to all who have been a part of its journey, with heartfelt thanks for the fun, friendship, and memories shared. Members are looking forward to another year of golf and good times, and they invite everyone to join them for the 2025 season, either out on the course or at the Reef Gateway Hotel.

Wishing all members and their families a wonderful Christmas, the Whitsunday Golf Club looks forward to continuing the fun and friendship in the year ahead!
