Golf - Sunday 21st February 2010

It was a very hot day for golf but never the less it was better than playing in heavy rain.

Our playing partners today were Wally & Robyn Johnston & we had a great day. Wally played an exceptional game getting many three pointers for our team & threw in a four pointer birdie as well. We thought we were travelling pretty well as a team having 25 points at the turn - so we aimed for 50 points which we thought would put us up in contention. There were exceptional scores and 50 points did not even come close - so the positive from that means that the course is getting more player friendly producing some great scores today.

We had 108 starters with 26 visitors from Everglades, Mangrove Mountain, Terrigal & Wyong.
