VOLUNTEERS MAKE OUR
CLUB
Our DDCC Members have an
amazing attitude to
volunteering of which they should be very, very proud!!
Last weekend the South West District Ladies Golf Association conducted the 2019 SW Championships at the Club.
The number of people who offered to help was fantastic! People volunteered time, food and a lot of effort to conduct a very successful weekend of golf with 102 ladies playing Saturday and 102 playing Sunday. Some volunteers did not even belong to the golf section and we sincerely thank them- we could not have run the weekend without your help! Thank you!
The comments about our lovely Club facility and the excellent condition of the course were overwhelming!!
These type of events highlight and promote our Club and makes it known far and wide that we have something very special here at the DDCC. “Super effort” to ALL volunteers who contributed on the weekend.
YOU ARE ALL AMAZING!!
