Veteran lady and men golfers who live along the NSW south coast enjoy a variety of activities not only on their own home course but also at other venues throughout the region.
Most regional members play a weekly competition game at their own home course.
Tuross Head Country Club players, for instance, enjoy a nine hole game each Wednesday morning, take part in regular fun based gala days, which include a luncheon bbq, and wind up their year with a very festive Christmas party. Enduring friendships are often the result of this combination of sporting and social activities within the club.
However an even wider field opens with the ability to travel and play at other towns on very attractive courses.
The Far South Coast Veteran Golfers Association holds a monthly 18 hole stableford competition at a selected venue each month.
The towns participating are Bega, Moruya, Tathra, Pambula/Merimbula, Eden, Tuross Head, Bermagui, Narooma and Tura Beach with the next event to be at Eden on Friday May 25th followed by Tuross Head on Friday June 29th. There is a very small fee to become a member of the FSCVGA.
Another annual very popular event is one organised by the Lower South Coast Veteran Golfers Association under the auspices of the NSWVGA.
This attracts participants from all around the state.
