Welcome to Nelson Bay Veterans Golf
If you are over 55 and enjoy a relaxed game of golf, and the camaraderie and social encounter that that offers, then the Nelson Bay Golf Club's 'Veterans' adjunct is for you.
We have two weekly 9-hole golfing competitions, with prizes, on Mondays and Thursdays, followed by fellowship in the clubhouse.
Additionally, the Monday competition has a presentation of golf prizes and a raffle for vouchers to the local Butcher.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The NBGC Veterans are a sub-group of the Nelson Bay Golf Club (NBGC).
Membership is open to financial playing members of the NBGC who have attained the age of fifty-five years or who are under fifty-five years and their situation warrants consideration by the committee for approval.
There is no separate membership fee for the Veterans in addition to the NBGC fee.
A Veteran Golf membership form must be submitted and is available from the NBGC reception or a Vets committee member.
The Vets event program is posted on the notice board outside the Pro-Shop at the commencement of each new month.
