AboutWednesday competition day at RPGC (Royal Perth Golf Club)
St Patricks day 17th March 2021
We enjoyed a beautiful sunny (hot) day in Perth playing stableford competition.
Mens mid week comp is extremely popular, the camaraderie is highly treasured and thus the afternoon comp and social engagement on the verandah is a must do.
to ensure your chance for an afternoon slot its the norm to visit the club Friday evening for the draw of name and priority time slot selection. The draw is 6pm deadline, the short session that follows includes social drinks snacks and social banter.
Pic below is out group for the day
