The John Deere Ride-on Lawn Mower which has been donated to the Wellington Golf Club and is now being raffled with tickets selling really fast and you can purchase a ticket for $5 at the club or there are plenty of golf club members around town selling tickets and this great prize will be drawn on the June Long Weekend.

A couple of requests from the committee, can all members please repair all Pitch and Divot Marks on the course and please keep all golf carts a good distance away from the Greens, many thanks if for your help in these matters.
