The couple, who spent most of their lives in Tarras before moving to Cromwell two months ago, were thanked during the Tarras Golf Club's 60th anniversary celebrations on Saturday evening for their long contribution to the club.
Mrs Still (76) was the club's chief caterer for many years and was awarded a life membership, while Mr Still (83) became the first junior champion when the club was established in 1954 and served as greenkeeper for more than a decade.
They shared the job of collecting green fees from the honesty box on tee one, right up until the day they shifted.
''We could actually see the No 1 green from where we lived so we knew when there were players on the course, so we'd go and collect [their fees],'' Mrs Still said.
Club captain and life member Jan Gibson said the couple were ''an institution'' in Tarras.
''There'll never be another Cliff and Doreen.''
Many other memories of club members past and present were shared at the event - held in the Tarras Hall, while inaugural club captain Bill Gibson (86) recounted the history behind the holes' names.
When the course was first laid out 60 years ago, local families who were keen on golf were allotted a green each and ''it was their job to mow and water their greens'', Mr Gibson said.
Each of the holes was named after that particular family's property, such as Cluden, Lindis, Deer Park, except in the case of the Gibsons' green.
''Because we bred merino sheep, they decided to call it the Wrinkle''.
While the names had stuck over the years, the methods of green maintenance had progressed from those early days.
''Gradually, as they got a bit of money, they put an irrigation scheme in.''
The ''19th'' was also upgraded from a ''shed'' at the first hole to Tarras' community hall, which burned down in 1968 but was rebuilt for $60,000 a few years later, Mr Gibson said.
The Tarras course was built with the assistance of three landowners who still make parts of their properties available - Cluden Station (the Purvises), Malvern Downs (the Gibsons) and Lindis Peaks (the Annans).
The farmers still graze the fairways to keep the grass down but the putting surfaces are fenced off.
About 90 people attended the anniversary celebrations.
