Message from the Club President
Dear Members,
It’s fantastic to see such a strong turnout at Devilbend for our first game of the year. It's a great reflection of where the club is at that we have such a strong membership base of both returning and new members for the 2026 season. Special thanks to the committee of Yvonne, Ian, Kath and Moulie for all the hard work and preparation to make the day such a success, and our interim sheriff for the day Nathan Bisby, who did a great job generating some funds for the club. The golf on the day was of a high standard with lots of scores in the high 30's and 40's. Special shout out to John Jones who's golf is improving with age and shot a magnificent 42 points in B Grade. On a final note, it would be great to see more members stay back after the game to support the club raffles and presentations - we need your support.
With the next game at Flinders a couple of reminders
- It's your responsibility to bring your card back to either Moulie or Yvonne post game.
- Get your name down now for the game as we will have a number of players returning for this game that couldn't play the opening round
Peter Harink
President DSGC
Message from Club Secretary
The Dromana Social Golf Club season got underway at Devil Bend, with a great turnout of members and a few new faces joining us for their first game. It was fantastic to welcome our new members and introduce them to the friendly and social atmosphere our club is known for. The weather was warm and a bit muggy, making it a testing start to the season, but it didn’t dampen anyone’s enthusiasm to be back out on the course.
The course provided plenty of challenges, and while the competition was played in good spirits, there may have been some colourful language heard echoing through the trees, along with the occasional bit of tree abuse after some wayward shots. Despite this, there were plenty of laughs shared throughout the day. Congratulations to all of the day’s winners and placegetters, with the Captain presenting the results. It was a fantastic way to start the season, and if the first game is anything to go by, we’re in for another great year both on and off the course.
Cheers,
Kath Porter
Secretary
Captains report
Captain's report Devilbend Golf Club 8th February.
Hi members welcome back to the 2026 season of great golf at some of the best courses in Australia.
We had a fairly good turnout for our first game at the Devils course with a couple of pretty good scores come in on a humid but lovely day, and was reasonably tough going, and with 37 points winning A grade was the very consistent Kurt Hendrix,
B grade winner was one of our long term seasoned members with a fantastic 42 points was John Jones, not bad for an old bugger is he 👏and the C Grade winner also with a great score of 40 points was Mick Wood, well done guys. Also we had a number of new faces of which our President introduced before tee off, welcome guys I’m pretty sure you all enjoyed the day, you will get to know everyone soon enough.
After the game we stayed back at the golf club for the presentations, raffle, fines and a few refreshments, of which everyone seemed to enjoy, our regular sheriff Paul Griffo was away (as usual 🙄) so Nathan took on the huge responsibilities of the Sheriff for the day and did a terrific job, adding a bit of humour as well, and collecting some good coin for our end of year drinks, well done Nath, Kath did a nice job as usual doing the raffle, thanks everyone for contributing with that, it’s a great help raising some extra cash for our club to keep us running for many years to come.
Our next game is at the beautiful Flinders Golf Club, and I’m sure everyone is really looking forward to it, hopefully we will get a big turnout for that one.

We also had a new nearest the pin called the golden hole🥇where everyone puts $2 bucks in before the game winner takes half the kitty and the other half goes to the club, and was a great success, well done to Yvonne for coming up with that idea and Nathan was the nearest on that one picking up close to $40.
