An upgraded putting area will allow Kyogle Golf Club to hold putting competitions and attract more golfers to the course, Federal Member for Page, Kevin Hogan said.
“I am excited to announce this grant as part of the Sporting Infrastructure Grant program for Kyogle Golf Club,” Mr Hogan said.
“The Club will use it to replace their practice putting area.
“The area will be larger so there is the possibility of running events like putting competitions which will attract more people to the game and to the club.
Kyogle Golf Club president Col Griffiths said they were very thankful to receive the grant.
“We will be replacing the practice putting area and also establishing a nursery,” he said.
“We have been putting up with bare patches along the course and with a nursery we can cut out a block of grass and fix the patches straight away.
“We will also have a course irrigation system where we won’t need to use the town supply.
“This will save on excess water rates.”
