Golf - Tuesday 27th October 2009



































































We were so lucky with our golf day today - the weather held out with just the lightest of showers which did not interfere with our golf game and the course was in remarkably good condition (with the exception of the bunkers) after the huge downfall of rain in the last two days. The scores were high with some great individual efforts which unfortunately did not count today as it was a team stable ford two scores to count with an 8 o'clock shotgun start which was designed to bring us all in to the clubhouse in good time for lunch and the Annual General Meeting of the Ladies Committe at 1.30 pm.
The Event of the day was a team stableford with two scores to count and we had 59 starters (15 teams).
My team today was Mary Beard, Rita Gilmour and Di Beechey and we had a fabulous day with Mary & Rita throwing in some great 3 and 4 pointers at appropriate times and Di contributing with 2 and 3 pointers to the extent that they were not interested in my 2 pointers. We had lots of highlights and came in with a good enough score to win a ball.
The golf was followed by a lunch break while the cards were being compiled followed by the Presentation and the Ladies Annual General meeting which was held in the Sunset Room. All incoming positions were filled without any challenges or need for voting. The results of the incoming committee were:
