$15,000 grant to help ‘drive’ golfers to success
Golf at Guyra will soon be a sport for all conditions, with Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall, right, joining Guyra Bowling and Recreation Club Secretary Manager Ken Law to announce a $15,000 State Government grant for two practice driving nets.
12th Jul 2022
GOLF at Guyra will soon be a sport for all conditions, thanks to a $15,000 State Government grant to assist with constructing two practice driving nets at Guyra Bowling and Recreation Club.
Club President David Wilcox said the driving nets would form part of the strategy to increase the number of playing members.
“We have been trying to brain-storm ways to encourage more golfers, particularly juniors, onto the course,” Mr Wilcox said.
“While the local schools will be able to use the nets, we also hope to be able to introduce golf to the international staff at Costa’s tomato farm.
“The golf nets will provide an area for members and all the community to use and hopefully encourage people to play sport.”
Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall said the new facilities would give those without enough time for 18 holes a reason to drag out the clubs.
“Driving nets are a staple at most modern golf clubs, providing somewhere for players to practice their swing after work or warm-up ahead of comp day,” Mr Marshall said.
“At Guyra, where the weather can often make the greens too wet to play, the driving nets will offer an all-weather option for those keen golfers who can’t wait for the fairways to dry-off.
“This a prime example of a local sporting organisation looking for new ways to remove the ‘handicaps’ which are stifling its financial viability.”
