From our Patron and Local Member Rob Stokes – Minister for Education Over the past 90 years Mona Vale Golf Club has established a proud reputation as a popular community facility in an iconic location. Throughout its history the Club has been used for defence purposes during WWII, held major golf tournaments, acted as an environmental safeguard and hosted countless celebrations, charitable and social events. Whilst its primary purpose might be golf – the roles and functions the club performs within our community are far more diverse. I congratulate Mona Vale Golf Club on its ongoing success. • 17th fairway sees an estimated 55,000 rounds of golf and 50,000 public users per year. MVGC staff labour complemented contractors through duration of project. MVGC member volunteers planted over 12,000 new native plants. www.mvgc.com.au 5
