Golf - Sunday 1st April 2012

We had a picture perfect day for golf today, blue sky and sunshine with a gentle breeze.  The greens were challenging coming out of their recent maintenance program so it was a bit of hit and hope when it came to sinking the putts.

Our playing partners today were Clyde & Lyn Cruickshanks and they were great company.  We had some good highlights throughout the day with Clyde scoring two birdies and Peter winning nearest the pin at the 12th.  The boys won the keno ticket although we kept them on their toes for the first nine and they never seemed to be more than two up at any stage.  Just a lucky day for them.

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

We had 68 starters with 4 visitors from Emerald Lakes Qld, Mangrove Mountain, Shelly Beach & Royal Sydney.
