Club Competitions

A comprehensive syllabus offers a range of competitions which are conducted every Saturday and Wednesday throughout the year. There are events such as the Monthly VGL Medal, President's Cup, The Captain's Trophy, Club Championships, Match-play Championship and the Espy Classic, which are keenly contested by our members. In addition, members participate in various LGC and VGL sponsored competitions at other courses across the Melbourne Metropolitan area. Each year the club also organises the 'infamous' Murray Trip which regularly attracts about 70 members and friends. Trophies are awarded each Saturday and Wednesday including prizes for ball-run, nearest the pin and putting competitions. Our club welcomes visitors and guests to play in both our Saturday and Wednesday competitions with the exception of qualifying events. E.g. Major Events.
