LANG LANG GOLF
It has been a big week at Lang Lang Golf Club with the sun finally making consecutive appearances on Thursday and Friday, allowing members to play under some much-improved conditions after a very wet start to the week.
Our big social event took place on Friday night with a great turn out, with almost 60 players contending in the Ambrose competition, and many more taking shots at the Super-shot party hole for the $250 prize.
A fantastic BBQ dinner was also provided for everyone with many thanks to Noel for a lovely spread.
Our next event will be on Friday 27 January.
Save the date and book your spots early as it is expected that it will be very popular with members and guests alike.
There are many competitions up and coming over the festive period, gather up your mates and come on down to enjoy all that Lang Lang has to offer.
