Stage 3 Restrictions: Country Membership

On Tuesday the Victorian Premier announced that metropolitan Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire will return to stage 3 restrictions from 11:59pm on Wednesday 8 July 2020.
While this lockdown excludes the Baw Baw Shire and the Club’s current operations, it does impact our operations in relation to our Members who reside in metropolitan Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire.
To help protect our Members and staff, all patrons who enter the venue are now required to fill out a customer registration form in the reception foyer, prior to entering the Clubhouse. This comes after the Premier indicated that operators in Regional Victoria may reasonably request identification and, where appropriate, refuse service to patrons from metropolitan areas.
As of 11:59pm tonight, Country 6 & 7 day Membership categories will be blocked from entering timesheets online. This is to assist the club in its compliance with the new Government directives.
Unfortunately this block will also affect Country Members who reside outside of the metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire areas. This means that any Country Members who are not affected by the stage 3 restrictions will be unable to book online and will need to contact the Pro Shop directly to make bookings over the next 6 weeks.
Please note that all Country Members who reside in metropolitan Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire have been removed from all open timesheets.
On behalf of the Board & Management of the Warragul Country Club, we thank our Members for their continued support of the Club and for those Country Members impacted by these latest Directions, we look forward to seeing you all back very soon.

Hole in One

Congratulations to Sharni Gentile on scoring a Hole in One on Wednesday 1st July in the First National Monthly Medal.
Whilst admitting the rest of her round was not much to comment on, the “1”on the 7th Hole sure added a smile to her day.
Only been playing for a few years, this is a great achievement. Well done again Sharni.

VALE ~ Mavis Dye

The Board wishes to advise Members of the unfortunate passing of long time Club Member Mavis Dye. Mavis was a Golf Member for over 40 years and made a significant contribution to our Club through her role on the Women’s Golf Committee, where she was Secretary in 1999 and 2000 and President in 2005.
A very active Golf Member, Mavis won both Bronze Division 1 and Bronze Division 2 Championships in 1998 and 1986 respectively and was a regular Pennant Golf representative for the Club. Mavis was a winner of the “Vi Teasdale” trophy at the Women’s Golf Victoria Two-day Country tournament having been very successful in representing Warragul at many Country tournaments.
Mavis was also very active in the local community and supported many community organisations. She was instrumental in the Golf Club’s support of our local ”Meals on Wheels” charity program, having devoted 20 years of service as Club Co-Ordinator. Mavis was also a great supporter and volunteer of the Club’s golf program for our local Mawarra clients.
Along with Norm Pattinson, Mavis made a significant contribution to compiling and researching the Club’s history as recorded in “From Farmland to Fairways”. This contribution is appropriately noted in the Books list of acknowledgements.
Along with her Partner Bill, Mavis was a passionate Golfer and Club Member who made an outstanding contribution to the Warragul Country Club. A great contributor, a friend to many and someone who will be sadly missed by all at the Club.
