Golf - Sunday 4th December 2011 - Christmas Gala Day











What a shocker of a day for golf!  What started out as a nice day turned into a mid-winter re-run of freezing cold wind, thunder and on/off showers/rain which caught us all by surprise.  I had a shower jacket with me that was not nearly enough protection.  At the half way mark I was saved by Michelle McGrath offering me her warm jacket  to wear for the last nine holes.  My golf game improved substantially after that.

Our playing partners were Mary Bromwich and Warren Gray who both contributed well to the day.  We tried hard to score well at the vital moment.  Mary contributed with some great 3 pointers and Warren stormed home at the end and also scored our only birdie at the 15th.

The Golf Event of the day was a Single Stableford + Team 1 x 2 x 3 and Annual MIXED GALA DAY

We had 88 starters with 3 visitors.
