Golf - Sunday 13th July 2014

We had some icy winds to keep us alert today - it was not too bad in the middle of the day but late afternoon closed in very quickly with an icy finish to the day.  Our playing partners were Steven & Annette Cross who were great company.  We had some good highlights during the day the best of which was Steven's 20 points to the turn.  The boys beat the girls for the Keno ticket however we shared an $83 win at the end of the day which smoothed things over.

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

We had 90 starters with 9 visitors from Everglades, Howlong, Killara, Kooindah Waters, Morisset & Taree.
