Golf - Sunday 5th March 2011
















We had a lovely cool day for golf today which was greatly appreciated by the players & encouraged some good scoring. Our playing partners were Dick & Joyce Bosley & we had a lovely day on the village green with some good highlights throughout the day. The boys beat the girls for the keno ticket but only on the last few holes. The girls held their own for most of the day & contributed some good team points - our main highlight was a four pointer from Dick at the 15th.
The Event of the day was a Team Stableford Split Sixes + Single Stableford for Men and Ladies.
We had 95 Starters with 6 visitors from Emerald Lakes Qld, Pennant Hills, Terrigal & Wyong.
