Golf - Tuesday 29th November 2011 - Christmas Closing Day





















It was great to have such a good weather day to play in our Christmas Closing Day.  This is a fun day where we can relax & enjoy a very social day of golf and join in the festive spirit of the season.  There were a lot of Christmas Theme golfers out playing today which was good to see.

In a sometimes desperate attempt to lighten up the day we answered the challenge this year with some Christmas Tree outfits to outdo the previous years Christmas Fairies.  I think we met the challenge with the aid of Lorraine Bignall's sewing skills & we thank Lorraine for her creative talent & hours of work that she put into these outfits.

The Golf Event of the day was a Team Stableford - Split Sixes - Nett and Scratch. It was the Ladies Closing Day - Christmas Day.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY as reported to me:  The Christmas Trees (of course); Anne Forrester had a gobbler 2/4 on the 5th; Lorraine Bignall had a 30 metre putt into the hole at the 6th; Yvonne Wilson had five 3 pointers; Shirley Daly had a birdie on the 14th and won nearest the pin; Lyn Cruickshanks had a 4 pointer on the 7th; Norma Cubis birdied the 11th.  I did not get a chance to get right around the room today to gather all of the highlights - and I am sure there were many - so my apologies to anyone who did not get the chance to have a brag about their highlight.

My thanks to Debbie Grinham for her photo of the Christmas Trees Grand Entrance.
