Golf - Thursday 22nd July 2010

It is a shame that we had such a small field today as the course was not in bad condition and the weather was kind to us - even though there was a brisk breeze to keep us alert and focused only the late players got the few light showers that were around. The greens are in beautiful condition and are a pleasure to play on.

The Event of the day was a Single Stableford Over the Field and we had 16 starters with one visitor from Tuggerah Lakes.

In conjunction we had the first round of the Singles Knockout in which 16 players participated making 30 players out on the course.

I participated in the Singles Knockout and my opposition was Julie Hazzard. We had a very competitive, but friendly day with a neck to neck battle to the 14th when Julie pulled out her big guns and won the next three holes. Our other playing partners were Helen Stuart & Robin Incoll who were a pleasure to play with and the matches were played out in the right spirit and we all enjoyed the day.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY as reported to me: Christine Drakeford had a birdie on the 5th after a nice drive to the green and a good putt in; Dawn Tromp was on the 10th green for 3 shots; Lynn Puiatti had no wipes today; Julie Hazzard had a great chip over the bunker on the 14th to give her an important win on the hole; Robyn Johnston squared the hole on the 10th after putting her T-shot into the dam; my highlight of the day was squaring or winning the holes that I was down one shot on & getting a good chip shot to the 10th green narrowly missing the bunker.
