Once again we have been very fortunate to escape any rainfall during our special Annual Mixed Gala Day which had a 12.30 pm Shotgun start. The course was in remarkably good condition after all the recent rainfall and there were only small pockets of casual water on the fairways to interfere with any golf shots. The greens in particular are in the best condition and everyone that has been playing at Gosford recently will know just how good they are.
Our playing partners today were Lorraine Bignall & Craig Ward and they were great company with both Lorraine & Craig playing very steadily overall & they carried me for most of the day.
The Event of the Day was a Team Stableford 1 x 2 x 3 + Singles.
We had 111 starters with 2 visitors.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY as reported to me: Lorraine Bignall had 3 pointers on four consecutive holes at the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th holes; Craig Ward played a nice steady game & was a good team player; John Hazzard had a gobbler putt on the 9th; Lynn Puiatti & Rosalie Dyer beat the boys for the keno ticket; Ron Puiatti had birdies at the 13th & the 18th; Graham Brown had 4/4 on the 5th and the boys beat the girls on the second last hole; Duncan Brown had 4 pointers at the 6th and the 11th; Mark Douglas had 2 birdies and Steve Thomlinson had 3 birdies; Kerry Cubis had a birdie at the 6th; Norma Cubis scored 40 points; Pauline Norman had gobbler 5/4 on the 13th; Kevin O'Brien had a birdie on the 15th; Michael Norman Drove well all day and drove the green on the 1st; Judy Clarke had 5/4 on the 11th; Terry Kay had a birdie gobbler on the 10th; Leigh Kay had 4/4 on the 17th; my highlight was the first hole I played at the 8th where I drove to the green and scored 3/3 for the team and was happy with a chip shot over the bunker on to the green at the 11th. I was not able to make it right around the room before presentation so I am sorry if I missed other great highlights of the day.
