As one of the few venues in the city offering a sporting outlet, there has been plenty of work being done behind the scenes at Dubbo Golf Club.

It was recognised earlier in the week by Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders, who praised the club for the way it has been handling the coronavirus pandemic and allowing Dubbo's residents an outlet while still adhering to all restrictions and regulations in place.
Membership numbers have enjoyed a spike in recent weeks while there's also some of the biggest numbers seen turning out regularly for weekend competitions.
"The golf club has tried to play a leading role through all this," the club's general manager, Rod Archer said.
"Not just in the community but within the industry. What you see here is a global crisis being played out on a local level and it doesn't matter what the macro-environmental concerns are, you've got to find a way.
"The club's focus has been on that mental health and social well-being and that's what we've been trying to capitalise and I feel we've done that well and the members have responded."

The rise in members has been a real positive for the club but the opportunity to offer people the chance to get outside and boost their physical and mental well-being is one of the most pleasing aspects of the sport's continuation for Archer, club professional Craig Mears and so many others at the course.
"If you play golf anything like me you don;t come out here to play golf and win a trophy," he said.
"You come out here to generally get laughed at by your friends and that's what people are doing.
"They're coming out here for that social aspect and getting that outcome more than anything else."
Seeing younger players on the course has also delighted Archer.
"There's a new generation being introduced to the game," he said.
"It's no ideal circumstances but still pleasing."
Saunders had a huge amount of praise for Archer and all those at the club.
The clubhouse itself may remain closed amid the ongoing lockdown but Saunders stated the sheer number of players on the course was proof certain businesses and services could find a way to continue to provide for the community in what is a challenging time.
"We've seen the club manage things in a completely different way, a foreign way to normal, but in a way that is not only encouraging people to play golf but to get exercise, get some mental health relief and be social, at a distance, while in beautiful surroundings," he said, stating the club is an example to follow.
"This is showing what can be done if people are willing and able to look for opportunities rather than barriers to playing sport and getting exercise."
Saunders pointed to the council-owned Paramount Tennis Club as another which could have been opened for one-on-one coaching and on Wednesday it was announced that service would resume for the city's players.
"My thought has been any opportunity that can be given to certain groups to start at some certain level to reintroduce sport back into lives is an opportunity that should be taken up," he said.
