The Molong Cup is the first event of the year here in the Central West. The two-day event is the first stop on the 2024 Western NSW DG Tour and will also be used as a trial run for the planned Division 2 course layout for Nationals, being held here in sunny Molong in November. It will feature an intermediate to challenging (blue level) 21-hole layout with one round played each day. A late start on Saturday and early finish on Sunday will allow competitors time to travel to and from the event.
