Gosford Golfers at Hawks Nest

Ready for a week of golf at beautiful Hawks Nest

A new way of dealing with the maintenance of bunkers

Being introduced at Hawks Nest - these bunkers have been drained underneath a layer of concreted heavy metal which will be laid with artificial grass and then covered with a very fine sand. Two bunkers have been completed with more to come in an attempt to make bunker maintenance free and less damage after heavy rain. - an interesting concept.

Hello from beautiful Hawks Nest. 

We had a lovely day today playing in an Ambrose to get us started into the week of golf.

Our special mentions are Steve and Geraldine Turner who played with Rick and Christine O’Shea who came in 3rd place to give Gosford a mention. I understand the girls were the strength of the day.

Meanwhile at Gosford......

The Golf Event of the day was a Single Stableford for Men and Women + 2BBB Team.

We had 73 starters with 8 visitors from Kooindah Waters, Everglades, Wyong and Nelson Bay.

I am sure there would have been a lot of highlights in the golf today but unfortunately I was not there to gather them. It sounds like everyone had a good day at Gosford - some more than others which was much like Hawks Nest. The weather has continued to be great - long may it last!
