Golf - Sunday 20th April 2014






We had a perfect Easter Sunday Day for golf - blue sky and sunshine which we enjoyed after a steamy two weeks in China.

Our golfing partners today were Wally & Rhonda Robertson and we had a good day enjoying our course at home.  We thought it would be easy after facing the difficult courses in China - however we were bought back to the reality of narrow fairways and trees close to the firing line.  We had a fun day and Wally & Rhonda are always great company. (No photo today as they have had their photo taken 6 times a day for the last two weeks - so I gave them a break)

The Golf Event of the day was a Medley Teams Event 1 X 2 X 3 + Single Stableford for Men and Ladies.

We had 58 starters with 2 visitors from Howlong and Wyong.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY as reported to me:  Ron Dekker played a nice steady game for his 43 points and played well out of the bunkers; Clyde Cruickshanks had birdies at the 8th and the 16th; my highlight was getting one 3 pointer and finishing with the same ball I started with.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS:  Congratulations to David & Kathy Small on the arrival of a new granddaughter on the 3rd April 2014 - Indy Kate Small (photoattached)
