Golf - Wednesday 25th April 2012 - Anzac Day

We had  a good day for golf on this Anzac Day Public Holiday - the weather stayed fine - if a little chilly & windy at times.  The Autumn weather is creeping in and the days are getting shorter.  Unfortunately the golf start time was running late which caused a back log of players who ran out of daylight hours to finish their matches. The golf matches stretched out to 5 hours or more which causes problems when there are a lot of players on the course.

My playing partners today were Rhonda Robertson, Fay Bailey & Eun Lee who were great company & we did have a good day with Eun Lee playing his first competition match and scoring a great 40 points.   Another highlight was Rhonda winning the nearest the pin at the 8th with a fantastic drive.

The Golf Event of the day was a Men's & Women's Single Stableford - Anzac Day.

We had 212 starters with 2 visitors from Everglades.
