Golf - Sunday 8th February 2009

The event of the day was a Single Stableford for Men and Ladies. We had 32 starters with one visitor from New South Wales. The planned team event did not go ahead due to the lack of numbers participating because of the anticipated hot weather causing many drop outs.

As it turned out the day was not as bad as we first thought. The temperature kept down to the lower half of the thirties and there was some breeze that helped kept it bearable. I have played in much hotter days than today so it was a shame so many people missed out on their golf.

Our playing partners today were George & Vicki Foster & they had a good day with George winning the nearest the pin on the 12th (yes! he did sink the putt) and Vicki coming in Runner up. The boys won the keno ticket from us girls but we came in with a big $120 keno win that was a great highlight fot the day.

Many thanks to Ron Puiatti who has been organising for esky's full of ice to be placed around the course for the players convenience in this extreme weather. It was a lifesaver today.
