Golf - Sunday 18th August 2013

Well Peter was Runner Up for half a day

 until the computer system re-calculated

a new winner 

What a magic day it was to be out on the golf course today.  Blue sky and sunshine made to order and the course in beautiful shape.

Our playing partners were Nigel & Sheena Asken who were delightful company (as usual) and we had a great day with some good highlights, Nigel getting a birdie and Peter coming in Runner Up with a good score of 38 points.  The Boys beat the Girls for the Keno Ticket but had to put pressure on until the 17th to do it.

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

We had 77 starters with 9 visitors from North Ryde, Terrigal & The Springs.

On Saturday Spencer Walklate hit his drive to the 8th green and finished in the dip on the left hand side of the fairway. Spencer lined up his second shot and hit a lovely shot up to the pin which was intercepted by a plover in flight which diverted the ball 20 foot from the pin.
