Golf - Sunday 4th July 2010

The Event of the day was a Medley Teams Event + Single Stableford for Men and Ladies.

We had 96 starters with 7 visitors from Branxton, Mangrove Mountain, Terrigal & Toukley.

We did not play golf today, opting for a reunion luncheon with some of my work associates/friends from my previous life. We enjoyed a lovely lunch in the Sunset Room watching all the golfers struggle up the 18th and then we stayed on for presentation which has made this a huge long day. Our compliments to Chef John & his staff for a beautiful lunch & our thanks to the bar staff for their friendly service. Our guests were impressed & said they would have no hesitation at returning again to our venue.
