Golf - Sunday 10th January 2010






















Fortunately it was not as hot today as it was yesterday & good golf was achievable with a nice breeze coming through for most of the day to keep the temperature bearable.
Our playing partners today were Ian & Lynda Hartley who were great company. Our golf scores were not wonderful but we had some good highlights along the way with three 3 pointers on the 6th and Lynda getting two 4 pointers. The girls beat the boys for the keno ticket on the 18th hole.

Other highlights of the day were Annie Brinks birthday & she shared her birthday cake with us all (Thanks Annie & Happy Birthday); it was reported to me that Vicky Morris was heard to say 92 "buggers" (in a very Australian accent) during the match which is probably why I have no highlights listed above for her. Graham Smith hit off the wrong tee marker at the 9th claiming that the yellow markers looked white.
I have thrown in an update photo taken today of our grandson Joel who is now 8 months old just so that you do not fall behind with his progress.
