Up to the late afternoon it was a great day for golf - some cloud cover and a gentle breeze which made it very pleasant to be out on the course. We were caught on the last four holes with light rain to start with that got increasingly heavier so the late players would have got quite wet.
Our playing partners were Doug and Robin Incoll and we had a great day. None of us had superb scores nor disgraceful scores but we did have some good highlights with good drives, chip shots and putts - just not all at the same time. We did not score any birdies but we came very close to 3 and 4 pointers on many occasions missing by just a smidgen.
CONGRATULATIONS go to WALTER LOSCHI for a "HOLE IN ONE" on the 12TH.
Nearest the Pin, EAGLES NEST and HOLE-IN- ONE - not a bad day's work! Well done Walter!

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY as reported to me: Kath Small chipped in on the 9th for 5/3; Jan Van Den Berg scored 42 points for the first time ever, he totalled 14 points on the 14th/15th/16th and 17th holes including a birdie at the 14th; Clyde Cruickshanks had a birdie on the 1st; David Small had three 4 pointers; Ian Hartley had a 4 pointer on the 13th; Walter Loschi had a Hole in One on the 12th ( 5 pointer) and also had a 4 pointer at the 16th; Doreen Trigg chipped in for a birdie at the 14th; Rhonda Robertson had two pars; Rosalie Dyer had a birdie 2/4 at the 14th; Duncan Dyer had 4/4 on the 6th; Wally Robertson put in a long putt at the 4th; Ron Puiatti had birdies at the 16th and 18th; Rob Brann had a birdie 3/4 at the 16th; Ron Dekker had seven points on the first two holes; Yvonne Wilson had 4/4 on the 17th; Fay Bailey was an improved player; Wally Bailey almost got a birdie on the 15th scoring 4/4; Des Wilson had a birdie on the 15th; Pauline Norman had four 4 pointers on holes one to five; Michael Norman had a 20 foot putt on the 13th to score 3/5 and a another long putt on the 3rd that just missed; We did not have any exceptional highlights so if I had to say anything it is that I was an improved player from my last match.
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS: (At least for Peter and I) was a "surprise" presentation from the Board in appreciation of "Outstanding support and valuable time given to the club".
It is always nice to be appreciated - certainly with volunteer work and our thanks go to the Club Board and Members for this acknowledgement. We hastily add that the success of this volunteer work would not be possible without the loyal support of all the F-Troopers who also volunteer their time to the club without expectation of thanks. We accept these acknowledgements on behalf of all the F-Troopers who all work so hard for the betterment of the club.
