Golf - Sunday 29th December 2013





We had a beautiful day for golf at Gosford Golf Course today.  The winds gusts came and went but overall it was not too bad and the good scores that came in indicate that the course was in great order.

WENDY STAPLETON particularly liked the course today - playing with her brand new set of Ping Clubs scored a HOLE IN ONE at the 5th Hole which makes it a total of four Hole in Ones for Wendy!  Wendy told me that it is easy when you know how...... I am still in learner mode!  CONGRATULATIONS WENDY!

Our playing partners were Graham and Anne Smith (my brother and sister-in-law) who both played really well considering that they are very busy people and have not played a lot of golf lately (Anne not for one and a half years).  We had a lovely day with some good highlights the best of which was Anne's 3 pointer at the 1st hole.

The Golf Event of the day was a Single Stableford Event for Men and Ladies - Modified Comp.
