Golf At Club Quirindi

🌸⛳ WOW… WHAT A DAY! ⛳🌸

We are feeling incredibly grateful after another fabulous Quirindi Ladies Golf Club Open Day! 💕🏌️‍♀️

A HUGE thank you to all the wonderful ladies who travelled from near and far to join us. We had visitors from Manilla, Longyard Ladies Golf, Tamworth, Armidale, Werris Creek Golf Club, Murrurundi, Gunnedah, Boggabri, Coonabarabran — and, of course, our own amazing Quirindi ladies! ❤️

We hope you enjoyed our course, the hospitality, the food, the company… and most importantly, had a great day out with plenty of laughs along the way! 😂

Playing a 4BBB, there was hopefully more laughter than tears, because thankfully only the best score makes it onto the card! And there were certainly some cracking scores, helped along by the magnificent condition of our course — although we think there was also a fair bit of good golf involved! 👏

🦅 SOME OF THE DAY’S HIGHLIGHTS…

There were plenty!

🦅 An eagle on the 18th by Liz O’Hara — what a feat and a first for Liz!

💦 And then there was Liz’s granddaughter Ava O’Hara, who decided that simply playing from the fairway wasn’t challenging enough! After smacking one out of the dam, getting herself covered in mud, she somehow managed to get that little ball onto the green. 😂👏 Now THAT deserves a mention!

🎟️ And of course, the raffle! There is nothing quite like the excitement when your colour gets called… only to discover that your lucky number has come up too! 😆

🍲 The men in the kitchen are always a highlight, but special mention must go to Cam Davies, who took “soup lotto” to a whole new level by delivering soup out on the course to the ladies which became a guessing competition as to what soup they were going to get! 😂

👨‍🍳 And Captain Liam McCain was an absolute whizz in the kitchen, showing off some exceptional culinary talents. We might have to keep him! 😉

❤️ A HUGE THANK YOU

An Open Day doesn’t just happen, and we are so lucky to have such an incredible group of people who pitch in and make it all possible.

A massive thank you to all the men who helped throughout the day in the kitchen, behind the bar and taking bunkers, to our wonderful committee and to all the ladies who cooked, brought in flowers, helped set up and contributed in so many ways.

We also want to give a very special thank you to our generous sponsors, Rabobank and Leyden Legal. Your financial support helps make days like this possible, and we genuinely couldn’t do it without you. ❤️

And finally, a huge thank you to Tom Major from Gunnedah Golf Hub. We absolutely love having you with us — providing merchandise, helping with cards and, perhaps most importantly, working your magic and fixing the grips on all our old clubs! 😂🏌️‍♀️

To everyone who travelled to Quirindi today — thank you! We hope you went home with a few prizes, plenty of laughs, and some great memories. 😉 How good if golf!

From all of us at Quirindi Ladies Golf Club, thank you for helping make our Open Day such a wonderful day.

Good golf, great company and lots of laughs — that’s what Quirindi is all about! 💕⛳

Until next time… fore! 🏌️‍♀️❤️

Golf Report 1st August 2026
Another beautiful Saturday greeted golfers for The Brian Smith Plumbing August Monthly Medal. Our thanks Brian, Prue and Brodie for their continued support.
The club welcomed James and Jock Smith from Tamworth, Jared and Will Doyle from Nundle and Brendan Taylor from Muswellbrook.
The course was presented in great condition. With a little imagination, you could picture the course looking like ‘Augusta’. Only thing missing is the flowering Azaleas! Greenkeeper James positioned the pins in the more normal postcodes, hoping to make the ‘greens’ a friend to the field.
Our visitors James Smith and Brendan Taylor enjoyed the course more than most both posting 70nett with James claiming 1st place on a countback from Brendan. Cameron Marquett 71nett, Harry Schroeder 75nett, Nathan Marquett and Gordon Brownhill 76nett received vouchers. Not often 76nett gets a voucher! The Monthly Medal, which goes to the best score by a member, was won by junior member Cameron Marquett.
Pinnacle Ag (farm beautifiers) NTP’s, 4th Wayne Nichols, 8th Harry Schroeder, 13th Liam McCain and 17th Ben Clift.
Well played by James and Anthony. Both played to their handicap unlike the rest of the field. Some of our golfers had more ‘putts’ than ‘shots played’. It should be seen as a positive for our small golf course. To have greens as good as what we have now is a ‘pinch yourself’ moment.
Snippets from the course centred around golf club malfunctions, air swings, back-to-back bunker shots, and after an 18 hole walk and talk, 2 members realised that they are related to each other. As report goes to press, no news on who is hosting Christmas! Oh, and the ‘good’ odd shot was played.
Next week’s golf is one of the clubs most popular trophy days. It’s the Finch Memorial trophy day hosted by the family. A 4BBB with a single stableford is the event visitors and members will be playing. This is always a great day. Hopefully the weather continues to shine over the course and hopefully we get a good rollup to celebrate the 50th year of the Finch Memorial trophy.

We are raising money for our 100 year celebration in October @ Golf At Club Quirindi

What is it about our annual Ladies 2-Person Ambrose that guarantees smiles, laughter and plenty of friendly banter? 😄⛳ Today certainly didn't disappoint!

A huge thank you goes to Jaine Gulliver, who has generously sponsored this event for many years. Jaine does it simply for the love of the game and to encourage everyone to relax, have fun and enjoy a wonderful day of golf with friends. We are so grateful for your continued support, Jaine! ❤️

With another picture-perfect winter's day greeting us (and yes... we'll say it again... how incredible is our course looking! 🌞💚), our field of 14 ladies couldn't wait to head out and soak up the sunshine.

The pins, however, had other ideas! Having been left in their challenging Saturday positions, they were still causing plenty of headaches. It seems those who battled them a few days ago had learned a trick or two, because today's winners had certainly done their homework!

🏆 Congratulations to Sue Davis and Mozzie Brownhill, who combined beautifully to finish with an excellent 70.75, earning themselves the top spot on the podium and Jaine's lovely sponsored prize.

🥈 Runners-up were their playing partners Tempe Onus and Phoebe Clift, who also played some terrific golf to finish with 72.25.
🎉 The ball competition winners were none other than Jaine Gulliver and Annie Brownhill—a nice little bonus for our generous sponsor!

While today's gobblers don't count towards the annual Eclectic, it was impossible not to notice Kathy Richardson's remarkable form. Kathy collected another two gobblers today, taking her tally to an incredible five in just the last two weeks! 👏🐦

And speaking of impressive performances, all four Nearest the Pins were claimed today. Could the recent trimming of the trees be making all the difference? 🤔🌳
🎯 4th – Tempe Onus
🎯 8th – Mozzie Brownhill
🎯 13th – Del Short
🎯 17th – Sue Davis

A very special mention also goes to Del Short, who celebrates a significant birthday milestone this week. 🎂💐 The ladies marked the occasion with flowers, cake and gifts, and Del was genuinely touched by the lovely surprise.

Del is one of our treasured Life Members, and over many years has quietly contributed so much to Quirindi Golf Club. Whether helping behind the scenes or simply enjoying her weekly round with friends, Del has been a wonderful part of our club community. We are incredibly grateful for everything you have done, Del, and we wish you a very Happy Birthday for Saturday! 🥳💚

The excitement wasn't over yet, with the raffle drawn at the end of the day. Congratulations to our lucky winner, with Phoebe Clift holding the winning ticket! 🎟️

Next Thursday it's back to business with our Monthly Medal, generously sponsored by Ray White Real Estate Quirindi. Before that though, we're looking forward to welcoming players from across the region to our Ladies Open Day this Sunday. We're excited to showcase our beautiful course, and we're delighted that Gunnedah Golf Hub will be on site with everything golfers could need throughout the day.

Finally, while this gorgeous winter weather continues, why not come out and enjoy a round? If you're visiting our course, please remember to pay your green fees. Your support helps us keep our volunteer-run club and course looking as good as it does.

Happy golfing everyone! ☀️⛳💚

We can’t wait to welcome Gunnedah Golf Hub back to Golf At Club Quirindi!

We’re heading back to Golf At Club Quirindi! ⛳️

We are super excited to host our second pop-up shop for the Quirindi Ladies Open Day on Sunday 2nd August!

We'll be on-site starting Saturday afternoon for anyone playing on Saturday or dropping by early. Whether you need to restock your gear, grab some last-minute golf essentials, or treat yourself to a little retail therapy before Sunday's tournament, make sure to stop in for a shop! 🛍️✨

Can’t wait to see you all out Golf At Club Quirindi this weekend 🏌️‍♀️

2. Harry Schroeder finished runner-up with 20 points.
3. Malcolm Clarke took the next ball credit on countback with 18 points, ahead of Brian Black.

Upcoming Events
1. The Central North Vets Golf Association will hold a competition at Narrabri Golf Club this Friday.

Golf Report 25th July 2026
A beautiful winters day greeted a very good field for the Tim and Sue Davis 2 person Ambrose trophy day last Saturday. Out thanks to Tim and Sue for what is becoming a very popular day.
The club welcomed Gwen Benham for Saturday golf, Jenny Henderson on reconnaissance, Bryan King and Mike Prowse who have had a long time away from golf. ‘Jack Frost’ turned up earlier than most, couldn’t find a partner but posted a -5 score before leaving.
Every week, the course is mentioned for its manicured presentation to the golfing community. Well, last Saturday was no exception. Comments were made by many that they have never seen the fairways in such good shape but left the best of the ‘highest praise’ for the greens. The pin placements were exceptional especially on the 8th and 17th that found the pin in the late ‘Black- Jacks’ cabbage patch and the 2nd and 11th lingering just below the crest. We thank the mower gang and their friends, greenkeeper James and ‘course super-intendant’ chairman Greg Tideman for the endless hours they put in creating a golf course that we can be all proud off.
Teams were sorted due to friendship, father/son, marriage or a ‘selection’ meeting in the carpark!!
The later was the criteria for the winning team of Ken Cudmore and Knox Fisher who had a magnificent gross score of 67 of the stick, recording a nett 61.5. Runner up was Dai and Liz
Brownhill with a nett 64.5.
Notable scores were recorded by Mark and Todd Burgess nett 66.75, Gordon and Anne Brownhill nett 68.25, Waldo Thompson and Hugh Brownhill nett 69, Peter Musgrave and Ken Cronin nett 69.25.
Pinnacle Ag (farm beautifiers) NTP’s 4th Dai Brownhill, 8th Peter Musgrave, 13th Liz Brownhill and 17th Ken Cudmore.
Worth noting was Peter Musgrave and Knox Fisher recording eagles on the 11th and 18th.
The course is still holding out on a hole in one which hasn’t happened since 2019. For Peters shot on the 11th, it was further away from the hole than any of the par 3 holes.
Well played to all mentioned above.
Its hard not to have enjoyed last Saturday’s golf. The weather was fantastic for a walk and talk, topped off with good golf played by most.
What was also exciting was to see many social golfers enjoying the course after the Saturday competition had finished.
It happens all over again next Saturday when the Brain Smith Plumbing August Monthly Medal is staged. A reminder the following weekend is one of the big highlights on the clubs golfing Calendar. The Finch Family Memorial 4BBB celebrating its 50th year will be staged.
It’s a good opportunity to get some individual practice in before teaming up to participate in the Finch Memorial in two weeks’ time.
