Hello to all the Beautiful women golfers at Port Macquarie Golf Club ⛳️
Welcome to the month of May.
I would like to thank the Womens committee, social committee, all our volunteers especially Graham Pellow, John McCleland, Ian Newton .
Justin our 2IC, Mel our events manager, the bar staff and kitchen for making our Open Day such a successful day.
Everything ran like clockwork. Thank you to our fashionista extrodinaire Nikki Bailey and her wonderful models Shannon Miller, Miki Collins, Di Collocott and Shirl the girl you all looked amazing. Thank you to James Single and Port Macquarie Golf Club. A special thank you to Steve Brennan and his wonderful grounds staff. Thank you to our 2 anonymous Golf players that made some special donations and a special thank you to our major sponsor Naomi Hunter from HEM Property. Without all these amazing people our day wouldn’t have been possible.
And of course thank you to all players from other clubs and our own players from Port Macquarie Golf Club.
The woman of PMGC were very generous with donating amazing raffle prizes. We made 1 thousand dollars, this went to the Anglican Soup Kitchen with the lovely Kerri Attenborough-Bourke accepting this on behalf of this charity.
A few of our PMG members volunteer weekly to this amazing place.
I presented Margaret Perkins and Kerry Nicholls with their VWGA special O Birthday Ball marker. Congratulations to you both.

I would like to thank everyone for their patience whilst the 14th & 16th greens have been under repair. The temporary holes which we have been playing has offered a new perspective to the course and has proven quite a challenge playing shots into these sometimes-tricky greens. The 16th hole is now back in play giving us back a full course.
