Golf - Tuesday 7th April 2009

It was a lovely cool day for golf today but rather heavy going out on the couse I thought, but it did not worry a lot of our good golfer's who bought home some good team scores.

My playing partners today were Judy Verlander (Captain), Elizabeth McNamara and Rita Gilmour. We had a good fun day and had some good chips and putting from time to time.

Judy was a handy ball collector with her little bike to buzz around on after we selected the best ball. We did find the birdies hard to come by but had a nice day on the village green.

The Event of the day was a 4 Person Ambrose. We had 76 starters with one visitor from Tallwoods.

President Rosemary Cohen announced that the result of the Horshem raffle was a total of $1,261 which was rounded to $1,500 topped up from our "Raffle account" . Rosemary passed on the appreciation and thanks of the Horsham Club to our Members for our generous contribution in their time of need.

On a sad note we understand that Di and Steve Thomlinson's son Damien has been seriously injured while serving with the Australan Army overseas. Our thoughts go to Di, Steve, Damien & their family at this time of trauma.
