We had a great day to celebrate Gala Day at Gosford Golf Club.  The weather was perfect to be out on the Village Green.  We were challenged by Greenkeepers Revenge where the pins were put in somewhat difficult places which did not worry some of our good players.

Our playing partners were Mark Stimpson & Alice Diamond who were great company & Mark was our star scoring a nice birdie on the second hole and going on to score 37 points and our team came in one point shy of challenging the winners.

The Golf Event of the day was a Single Stableford + Team 1 x 2 x 3.

We had 86 starters with 3 visitors from Shelly Beach and South West Rocks.
