Golf - Sunday 23rd May 2010

One of the biggest highlight of the day for the late players today is that we did not get wet at all. Earlier this morning the skies did not look good & the showers continued on and off for most of the morning - clearing just in time for us to hit off in the dry. Our playing partners today were to be Col & Kay Adams, but as Kay had a similar virus to what I had last week they opted not to chance the wet & cold which was understandable. Our playing partners gained from the list of bravehearts that waited around to see if the weather improved was Doug & Robin Incoll. We had a lovely day & the course was good to play even though it was a little wet underfoot in places. Those that did brave the showers did not seem to be disadvantaged as there were some good scores come in.

The Event of the day was a Single Stableford + Team Split Sixes.

We had 69 starters with 3 visitors from Mona Vale and Wyong.
