Jones back from retirement @ King Island Pro Am

Jones back from retirement @ King Island Pro Am

Warragul Country Club’s Director of Golf and resident golf professional, Heath Jones, came out of semi-retirement earlier this week and ventured to King Island to play in the 2021 Air Adventure King Island Pro-Am, in the PGA Pro-Am Series’ return to the picturesque Cape Wickham Links and Ocean Dunes Golf Course.

 Having self-confessed to not playing a tournament condition round for almost two years, he dusted off his clubs to tie for fourth place with a total score of 65 points after recording 36 points in round two for the equal best score of the day.

 Playing alongside fellow Warragul Country Club Member, Matt Wilson, Heath and Matt also managed a top 10 finish in the teams event.

 Unfortunately you won’t see Heath play in this Saturdays Gippsland BMW Pro-Am, but he has accepted a tournament invitation to next week’s Gippsland Super 6 Tour Event held at the Yallourn Golf Club. Here’s hoping Heath’s form will continue!

Volunteers Required ~ 2021 Gippsland BMW Pro Am

Volunteers Required ~ 2021 Gippsland BMW Pro Am

Dear Members,
We are seeking the assistance of our membership to help ensure the smooth running of our Pro Am.  Many Professionals last year commented on how well the day ran and the way the membership got behind the event and helped out in many facets.
As with any Pro Am or major event, the assistance of volunteers is extremely important to the day.  Volunteers are not required all day, even a few hours either morning or afternoon would be appreciated.
Jobs may consist of any of the following:

  • Car Parking,
  • BBQ duties,
  • Player registration
  • Ball Spotting
  • Player direction
  • Drink Runners

For doing your part, we offer some lunch & refreshments, as well as a Pro AM memento from the day.
If you would like to offer your assistance to the day, please click on the link and we will be in touch.

Billeting

As well as volunteers, we do occasionally have some professionals looking for a  place to stay as not many can afford the accommodation fees with all their travelling.  We have been very fortunate in the past with members offering a room to stay in and we ask again if an members would offer this service.
Please register your interest with Lee or Heath and they will get back to you when we have professionals enquire.
Thank you again.
