Golf - Sunday 25th November 2012





























Today was the 60TH NAGGERS CUP  to be played at Gosford Golf Club which is a wonderful achievement.  This Event is sponsored by the Pro Shop who donate all the trophies for this event.

This is one of the most popular events of the year made even more popular this year by the pre match breakfast which was sponsored by Ron & Lynn Puiatti.  The $5 breakfast entry fee collected from the members who attended was donated to our young Professional Tom Ballard to assist him with his Professional Touring costs next year.

The Breakfast was held in the Magnolia Room and 70 odd members enjoyed champagne, orange juice, sausages, bacon, beans, scrambled eggs, bread, butter, tea and coffee.  A great start to the day.  Many thanks to Ron & Lynn for their very generous donation to the Members and to the Members that supported the breakfast showing great club spirit.

The Golf Event of the day was an American Foursomes - Mixed - 60th Naggers Cup.

We had 140 starters.
