I did not play today as I was in recovery mode from a week of golf including Wauchope, Bonville & Royal Pines on the Gold Coast. Well, what can I say - apart from one day of torrential rain it was beautiful one day and perfect the next in magnificent Queensland at this time of the year. I will have a brief report on this blog as soon as I find time and a full report on my travel blog when time permits.
In the meantime golf goes on at beautiful Gosford and getting better every moment as the course dries out and improvements are made. Today was a stroke Monthly Medal Event - a catch up from previous monthly medal washouts. We had some great scores in with players needing to score 75 on a countback or better to get a ball. We had 80 starters and no visitors.

Highlights of the day as reported to me: Fay Bailey had a birdie on the 4th; Elizabeth MacNamara had a birdie on the 15th; Yvonne Cumming had 11 putts on the back nine; Leanne Moore had 6 shots of the 18th; Helen McIntyre (a new member to our club - welcome Helen!) 6 shots on the 18th; Debbie Grinham started the day with a gobbler, a birdie and no putts and also won the fruit raffle(how good can it get) ; Michelle Martin was a star all day; Lorraine Linnert got nearest the pin on the 5th; Sue Hutton lost a ball on the new work on the 13th and was delighted when the workmen dug her ball out of the dirt & placed it for her to play(cannot loose a ball in GUR); Norma Cubis hit a super powerful drive off the 13th narrowly missed the head of a tractor driver & the ball rebounded off the tractor almost back to the water ( a close encounter one could say - for both Norma & the tractor driver); Yvonne Wilson ate half of her banana today at the 12th green & put the rest away for later, while she was putting Debbie Grinham helped herself to a bite when Yvonne was not looking - however owned up & paid her back after winning the fruit raffle later in the day.
Images attached: Michelle Martin - winner of Division 1; Leonie Casey Winner of Division 2; Elizabeth MacNamara - winner of Division 3; Debbie Grinham, Michelle Martin & Lorraine Martin - all winners today ( with Debbie's raffle win - note Debbie repaid the banana to Yvonne after she won the raffle prize).
