Golf - Sunday 3rd August 2014

Today it was a clear and crisp day for golf with a definite edge of winter on the breeze.  My jumper did not stay off for long.

Our playing partners today were Ray & Carolyn Buttsworth who were great company.  We had some fun out on the village green slipping in some good 3 pointers and we were only one stroke out of the play for the Medley Team Split Sixes.  Ray was our champion with a great 39 points.  The boys beat the girls narrowly for the keno ticket.  My apologies to Ray and Carolyn for accidentally deleting out photo taken at the 1st tee this morning.  In my haste to edit the photos for the blog tonight I hit the delete button one too many times. Sorry! It was a lovely photo too!

The Golf Event of the day was a Medley Team Split Sixes + Single Stableford for Men and Ladies.

We had 71 starters with 1 visitor from Warringah.
