Another ideal day for golf and I am surprised that we did not have more starters on such a lovely day and with the course is playing so well as you can tell by the scores. There is plenty of run on the fairways but the greens are still a furry after maintenance. In a couple of weeks the greens will be top class and then we will be sorting the men from the boys with the putting expertise.
The Event of the day was a Medley Team Event + Single Stableford for Men and Ladies.
We had 90 starters with 6 visitors from Mangrove Mountain, Riverside Oaks and Terrigal.

This donation is much appreciated by the F-Troop workers and only just last Monday I was approached by a Member who wanted to help out with the "clean up" after the gale force winds of last Sunday & I did not have a spare pair of gloves to offer her to protect her hands. A big "THANK YOU" to the East Gosford Newsagency!
I was working in the garden at home this morning (before golf) with grandson Joel & have slipped in some photos taken of him helping me water the new rose "Hot Chocolate" that he bought me for my recent birthday and doing some 'digging' in the rose garden. (Just can't help myself)
