The cost of Memberships for the remainder of the year (until 30 March) is currently reduced to $50.00/adult and will be reduced as the year progresses, so a GREAT TIME TO BECOME A MEMBER – fill in a membership form – and email it to admin@jinderagolfclub.com We can help you get a handicap (if you want) and join in our very social competition days – or simply play at your leisure without having to worry about green fees!

Pennant – The Mighty Jindera Golf Club took out the 2021 MDGA Pennant competition last Sunday the 21^st Nov at Thurgoona. It was a hard fought affair against a very competitive Culcairn side where all games bar one went to the 17^th and 18^th holes before being decided.

Thanks go out to Steve Keshire and the MDGA (Murray Districts Golf Association) team for organising another great Pennant competition.

The competing clubs were :- Jindera (A/B), Culcairn (A/B), Holbrook, Howlong (A/B), Thurgoona (A/B) Corowa (A/B), Albury and MDGA All Stars.

Course Works – The grounds committee have been working hard over the past few weeks installing some “Couch” turf around some of the greens in a bid to encourage it to spread out to the fairways thereby improving the approach to the greens. Currently targeted are the 1^st, 6^th, 8^th and 9^th greens. We ask all players to treat the new work as “GUR” and please take care, as this is the start of on-going works in this area.

The best way to describe January is WET!

While its been good for growing grass – the flip side is a lot of work mowing and keeping the course presentable.

We have decide to undertake a program of laying couch turf around some of the greens in an attempt to improve the approach to the greens .

Beginning in December 2021 around 100sqm of couch has been laid around the 6th and partially around the 1st, 8th and 9th.

Scores for January
