Golf - Sunday 17th October 2010

We had a very successful PRESIDENT'S VS CAPTAIN'S DAY.

Starting with a champagne & Chicken breakfast at 10.30 am supported by approximately 50 members the day progressed to some great golf on a most beautiful day with 148 players supporting the day. The course was awash with red and blue in support of either the President's Side ( wearing blue) or the Captain's Side (wearing red). We had a shotgun start which proved popular with the Members and we had a good number stay on for presentation.

The Event of the day was a Single Stableford + 2 Ball Team Event.

We had 148 starters with 7 visitors from Club Pelican, Mangrove Mountain, Carcoar Qld, Royal Sydney, Vintage, Shelley Beach and Wyong.
