Hello All SAOGA Members,

Our final event of the 2016 SAOGA season will be the 34^th Annual Renmark Tournament to be held at the Renmark Golf and Country Club Thursday 27^th to Sunday 30^th October 2016.

If you wish to play please review the information sheet and submit your electronic entry form, along with your entry fees. Please note that entries close Friday 7^th October 2016

As the majority of our membership is aware, times are tough in the oil patch at the moment and obtaining sponsorship for the event is increasingly difficult. However the committee is pleased to be able to keep entry fees unchanged this year. We expect to run a quality golf tournament and provide plenty of opportunities to relax and socialise.

Below is a link to the tournament information and on-line entry from. Please contact Mark Duerden or myself if you have any questions on the information or entry form!

Hope to see you there for a great event. Drive safely.

Hello All SAOGA Members,

Our next game will be held at The Copper Club @ The Dunes, Port Hughes, on Sunday 25^th September 2016. Tee off time is at 08:30 a.m. with a shot-gun start so please ensure you arrive at the course in a timely manner to sort a cart and get to your assigned starting tee.

For this game, the comp fees are $50 per player which includes use of ½ a cart. Green fees / cart fees to be paid to SAOGA account and not to the club. Note that if you wish to use the cart as a single player (with or without non-playing partner) then the comp / cart fee total will be $65. Please indicate on the entry form if you need a single player cart. Carts will be assigned on first come basis as there are only 24 carts available and SAOGA playing members will take priority over single player +/- non-playing partner. (If you wish to walk the course, green fees are $35. However with a shot gun start, use of carts by all players is preferred).

The club is also organising a set menu for our members and guests at a very reasonable $20 per head – please see attached menu choices. Your order will need to be placed and paid for (cash to Mike Willis) at the start of the morning to ensure the kitchen staff are prepared.

As a bonus for the weekend, there will be a prize for the best score recorded on any Saturday rounds played at The Copper Club, kindly sponsored by Bernie Lewis Home Loads Norwood. So if you come over for the weekend, please save your Saturday card for submission, clearly marking the card for a Saturday game to avoid confusion!

Hope to see you there for a great weekend of golf on a challenging course. Drive safely.

30 Members and Guests enjoyed our first round at the Vines. The Course was the winner on the day with no one shooting handicap or better. Now we have had a look, next year will hopefully bring better scores to all. Great to see one of our long term Renmark sponsors attend – Cillian Rouse from Sharpe Engineering in Roma.
