LALBERT
THE Lalbert Golf Club made the decision to close the current season early, due to the dry conditions and frosts drying out the course, which has also meant the cancelation of our final events.
On Sunday, August 25, the club held its closing day, with awards presented to Doug Meehan, who won the John Curthoys Memorial Award and Karen McKissack, who was the inaugural winner of the Lila O’Meara Memorial Award.
