After a week of rain golfers enjoyed some sunshine although the course was still very soggy and playing long.
It was a good week for the club with the opening of their new bistro that boasts renown chefs Peter and Rhianna Bunzlow.
The board and bistro staff were congratulated by those that enjoyed their meals throughout the week amid the picturesque grounds and beautiful clubhouse.
The bistro is open to all and it will be a place to enjoy and experience one of Lithgow's best chefs.
