Golf - Thursday 27th June 2019

Golf at Moree with my brother Phil - at the Par 3 17th Hole - our Happy Hole as we both parred this hole across the river.

Moree Club Logo - The Kookaburra

Moree is a seriously good golf course - very challenging with some tricky fairways and greens.  There are no bunkers but plenty of other places to fall foul of the fairways - the raised greens are a challenge by themselves.  The river crossings again a test of skill.

We had a very enjoyable day playing  golf with my brother at Moree Golf Club today.

Blue sky and sunshine - a perfect 23 degrees - just right for golf.

Meanwhile at Gosford...…….

Carts were not allowed on the course and it was still very wet so there was no Ladies Competition today

We will be home in a couple of days and will bring all the beautiful weather with us so it will be life as normal next week.

Surat Qld for morning coffee break

St George - our overnight stay



Hello from beautiful St George.  Homewards bound now and getting closer to the winter weather.

We travelled from Roma today, coffee stop at lovely Surat and tonight at St George.  Onwards then to Moree (my old stomping grounds)


The weather forecast was not looking good - I checked the radar and there would be some doubt that our loyal F-Troopers would have been able to work.

Meanwhile on the Central Coast …..
