Golf - Tuesday 27th July 2010

We were blessed with the weather again today with the rain holding off and even giving us some blue skies and sunshine which was very welcome after overnight rain. The course was wet underfoot but not too bad. As you can see by some of our good scores that came in today the damp course did not worry some of us.

My playing partners today were Rosalie Dyer and Yvonne Wilson & we had a lovely day of mixed fortunes. Rosalie was our star player getting some nice putts in & we all had some good highlights along the way.

Some other highlights today we had a visit from a couple of our previous lady golfers.

It was good to see Sandra Coyle call in for a chat - Sandra is currently 'resting' from golf.

Another visitor that was wonderful to see at the club was Val Pucher. Photo attached of Val taken today with Rosalie Dyer & Rosemary Cohen. Val is 94 & continued to play golf into her early 90's and she has been an inspiration to all of our lady players over the years.
