Golf - Tuesday 9th September 2014

Happy Days - Blue sky and sunshine and although the course was wet underfoot and no carts were allowed - it was not all that bad.  We did have to take drops out of wet patches but there was preferred lies throughout the green which did help - so we had some happy ladies out there playing golf again today after a rough few weeks of rain.

My playing partners today were Cheryl Davison (Howlong) and Shirley Daly and we did have a good day - never mind the scores.  Our highlight of the day was Shirley getting a good par with some great shots after a long spell off of golf.

The Golf Event of the day was a Ladies GOSFORD BOWL - BRONZE SALVER & LONG MARKERS DAY Single Stroke.

We had 51 starters with 4 visitors from Howlong, Hunter Valley, Merewether & Toronto.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY as reported to me:  I did not get any highlights reported to me today but I can safely say finishing was one of the popular highlights after a bit of hard slog out there as the nearest the pins indicate.  The balls got caught up and slowed in puddles so your great shot on a dry day was a bit ordinary today.  The blue sky and sunshine was very welcome and I am sure we were all grateful to be out there after a couple of weeks of very discouraging weather. The greens are all back after maintenance so we can all look forward to some great golf days coming up.
