Golf - Sunday 9th February 2014

We had a very hot day for golf but fortunately there was some breeze to keep the temperature down. Our playing partners were Doug and Robin Incoll and we had a lovely day on the village green with some good highlights - the best being the 11th where Doug got a 4 pointer and I got a gobbler putt in. 

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

We had 66 starters with 7 visitors from Shelly Beach, Pacific Dunes, Terrigal and Tamworth.
