We had a most beautiful weather day for golf enjoying blue sky and sunshine along with the good company of Di Beechey and Kevin O'Brien. We did have some good highlights, the best of which was a birdie from Peter on the 16th and a 4/4 from Di on the 13th. The girls beat the boys for the Keno Ticket.

Mark cannot remember the last time he was ever in this dam - but I think he will remember this one.
