Golf - Sunday 22nd July 2012

Charlie - 7 months old

Grandson of Debbie Grinham

Everyone that played golf today deserved a medal.  It was a big mix of weather ranging from warm and pleasant to freezing cold wind, rain & multiple showers bringing even more water to a rain sodden course.  We had to play through a lot of casual water which was challenging at times. Not surprisingly a lot of starters did not finish their matches.

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

We had 74 starters with 8 visitors from Redcliffe Qld, Roseville, Shelly Beach, Terrigal, Royal Sydney and Virginia Qld.
