Golf - Sunday 27th February 2011

We were very fortunate with the weather today. It had threatened to be 31 degrees with heavy rain showers. We had a reasonable amount of cloud cover and some very little light showers which were, if anything, comforting from the humidity.

We had a great day on the village green with our playing partners Graham & Rae Brown, who both started out on fire. We had our acceptance speeches written out until the halfway mark when our wheels started to fall off. We had some really good highlights during the day - the least of which was that the boys very narrowly beat the girls for the keno ticket.

The Event of the day was a 2 Ball Team + Single Stableford Mixed Men and Ladies.

We had 67 starters with 5 visitors from Morisset, Mt. Coolum Qld, & Wyong.
