Golf - Sunday 13th September 2009











It was very hot out on the course today - a sign of the long hot summer to come perhaps.
The greens are grassing up well after their maintenance & should be in great condition very soon. Our playing partners today were Graham & Anne Smith and we had some really good highlights out there today including a birdie from Peter.
The Event of the day was a 1-2-3 Medley Team Event plus Singles for Men and Ladies.
We had 116 starters with 5 visitors from Branxton, Longyard, Sugar Vally, Terrigal and Tuggerah Lakes.
