Gosford Golfers at Wyong 75th Anniversary celebrations - Thursday 22nd October 2009


























































































































































What a top day of golf it was today at Wyong to celebrate the Ladies 75th Anniversary.
The Event of the day was a 1/2/3 Stableford Team Event and there were two shotgun starts to accommodate all the players that wanted to participate.
My team today was Shirley Daly (Gosford) and we played with Lola and Joan (Wyong). We played in the early morning 7.00 am shotgun start and we ha d a lovely day with our Wyong girls. The course was in great condition (both the greens and the fairways) and this encouraged some excellant scores for the day - the winning team having 94 points. We had some great highlights during the day with one of the best being Shirley winning the nearest the pin prize. We were lucky with the weather as it stayed nice and cool with some cloud cover in the morning which was pleasant for golf.
There were a lot of Gosford players participating in the day - some of whom arrived at lunch time to play in the afternoon shotgun start. The Wyong Ladies were wonderful hosts, supplying us with a nice BBQ lunch, tea and coffee and some of the 75th celebration cake. The club was formed in the 1930's and the Ladies were accepted as full member in 1996. There were some good nostalgic photos & notes on display. In 1960 it cost 6 shillings to have a game of golf. How things have changed!!!
Congratulations to all the Wyong Lady Golfers on their 75th Anniversay celebration and (as usual) the day was well organised and a great day was enjoyed by all that participated.
