The LVDGA held the 2025 Championships and Pennants at the challenging Trundle sand green layout on Sunday, 15 June.
Whilst the morning started with a few scuddy showers it cleared so all golfers had a good crack at the course and the small testing greens.
Over 100 players were in the draw with Trundle, Grenfell and Condobolin being best represented.
A grade was restricted to 0-6 handicap with Garry Hancock from Grenfell coming in with a 68 on the 66 rated course.
