The announcement comes with the release of the 2019 program for the calendar year.

Club captain Richard Hackwill said the dates were decided after a meeting with the match committee.

“The match committee approved the return of club championships to February for 2019,” he said.

“The members voted at the men’s annual general meeting.”

Dates confirmed for the event are February 2, 9 and 16.

Mr Hackwill said the club will celebrate the winners of the three-round competition with a function at the club.

“The club will host a cabaret on the evening of the last round,” he said.

“It will be great to utilise the facilities and congratulate all the winners.”

In 2018 the annual event was originally scheduled for February 2018 but was postponed due to the state of course after persistent heat in summer.

“The course is in great condition coming into some warmer weather,” Hackwill said.

“Members have shown concerted efforts to look after greens during the hot periods.

“Numerous volunteers will be putting in a huge effort on Friday.”
