Men’s Section AGM
The Men’s Section AGM for 2024 was held on Thursday last in the Clubhouse. Handicaps formed a large part of the conversation and the consensus was that a Handicap evening should be held in the future for members to try to explain in simple terms the WHS and how it currently operates..
The highlights were the presentation of the Player of the Year Trophy to Richie Whelan and of course, the swearing in of David Hoyne as your Captain for 2025.
