The weather was perfect today, the company was great so golf was a successful day for us - pity about some of our scores. Carolyn was our champion today scoring a great birdie at the 14th with a good drive to the green and then a 12 foot putt straight into the hole that was never going to miss.

The Golf Event of the day was a Single Stableford for Men and Ladies.

We had 136 starters with 7 visitors from Terrigal, Dunheved, Lakeside, RAAF Darwin, Randwick.
