NSW Vets Matchplay Tournament – Full Report

The 2015 NSW Vets Matchplay Tournament was held again in the Newcastle District over 4 days from November 2 through till November 6.

The 4 courses that hosted the Tournament were Belmont, Waratah, Newcastle and Charlestown.  The weather early in the week was a little wet but the
rains stopped to enable the last round at Charlestown to be completed in dry but hot and humid conditions.

All 4 courses were presented in excellent condition and all received complimentary remarks from the players.

A total of 94 players including 22 ladies contested this years event – an increase of approx 14 from last year.

The Tournament Director was again John Mason from Charlestown GC and again is to be congratulated on a job well done.
