We had a fantastic day for golf today - no rain, blue sky and sunshine tepid by a little breeze to keep the temperature down.  Our playing partners were Wally and Fay Bailey and they were great company. We spent a lot of our day lamenting about our poor golf shots but at the end of the day our highlights were Fay and I winning the Ladies team event (albeit on a countback), I won the ladies singles event, Fay and I both won a ball and we beat the boys for the Keno Ticket - How good can it get!

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

We had 57 starters with 3 visitors from SGA and West Wyalong.
