Burra Golf Course Closed Until Further Notice

Covid-19 measures introduced by the Government have meant that all golf courses in Australia should be closed.

The health of all members and visitors are of prime concern and the committee has acted quickly following the latest government announcements and advice from Golf Australia. The clubhouse was closed a week ago and will remain closed.

We have tried to keep the course open while meeting social distancing guidelines but given the tightening of these it is no longer possible. It was our aim to provide the opportunity for members to continue to get exercise. Unfortunately, according to the government, golf does not rate as an exercise.

We will open the course again once it is deemed safe to do so. In the meantime please keep safe.

Gus The Good Guy Takes Mars Bar

Saturday’s stableford was won by visitor Keith Johns from Ingle Farm Golf Club with a score of 40 points. Best of the locals was Dick Secomb with 37 followed closely by Richard “Pickles” Matz and Kobi Wenzel on 36.

At the other end club captain Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel had a day best forgotten taking the confectionery, and being the only player not to achieve 31 points or better.

Results:

40 Keith Johns (Ingle Farm)
37 Richard Secomb
36 Richard Matz, Kobi Wenzel
33 Philip Thomson, Chris Waters
31 Mark Millward, Anndrew Philips, David Webster
28 Russell Wenzel
