Where we’ve been
The 2021 LGIS Local Government Golf Tournament, the Broome Board Tour, and the Kimberley Zone and WALGA Dinner
After missing last year’s event due to the pandemic, local government’s gathered at the beautifully presented Goomalling Golf Club for the 2021 LGIS Local Government Golf Tournament. After 18 gruelling holes and some fantastic performances, this year’s event was taken out by the Shire of Westonia who now enjoy hosting rights for 2022.
Along with the teams’ trophy being presented to Westonia, this year’s event saw the presentation of a new perpetual trophy for the individual net winner of the day. The Greg Hadlow Cup honours the memory of one of the LGIS Golf Tournament’s most prolific competitors and winners, Mr Greg “Potts” Hadlow who passed away earlier this year.
Greg was well-known and widely respected by the local government sector as a dedicated CEO whose contagious laughter, love of golf, and many years of participation at the LGIS golf day will be remembered by many. Greg served as Chief Executive Officer at many local governments such as the Shires of Kondinin, Kulin, Meekatharra, Mt Marshall and Westonia.
Whilst it was sad not having Greg there this year, it was wonderful to be able to honour his legacy, memory, and to have him there in spirit. The inaugural winner of the Greg Hadlow cup was Councillor Dennis Reid from the Shire of Kellerberrin.
We look forward to seeing a bumper field at the Shire of Westonia next year to fight for the hosting rights in 2023.
