Golf - Sunday 7th July 2013

We had a lovely sunny day for golf today which was great.  The course is still a bit wet underfoot but is drying out at last after the recent big wet.  Our playing partners were John & Julie Hazzard and we had a great day on the village green.  We had a lot of highlights and Julie & I were only one shot off the pace for the mixed ladies and Julie by a countback for the Singles event.  As well as that we beat the boys for the Keno Ticket so we had a good day.

The Golf Event of the day was a 2 Ball Aggregate + Singles Mixed Men and Ladies.

We had 78 starters with 2 visitors from Terrigal & Taree.
