Golf - Sunday 26th February 2012

We had a beautiful day of SUNSHINE today which made it a very enjoyable day for golf.
The course is in great condition after all the really continuous bad weather.  The course recovers remarkable well after heavy rain thanks to the drainage work being put in place by our greenstaff.

Our playing partners today were Doug & Robin Incoll and we had a great day playing with no pressure at the end of the field.  There were large groups of Pennants Players on the course starting prior to our competition so it was a big day at Gosford.

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

We had 75 starters with 4 visitors from Everglades, Shelly Beach & Terrigal.
