Golf - Sunday 3rd January 2021

 

Robbie Whyte - Winner of the Men’s Singles

Lorraine Bignall - Winner of the Ladies Singles

With Kay and Garry Baillie at the 1st Tee

We were lucky to miss any of the threatening heavy showers today - it got very humid as the sunshine came out so when we did have light sprinkles of rain it was quite refreshing. Our playing partners today were Garry and Kay Baillie who were great company and we did have some good highlights the best of which was a birdie from Peter on the 8th. The boys smashed us for the keno ticket playing some really good shots when it mattered.

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

We had 93 starters with 4 visitors from Wakehurst, Kooindah Waters and Parkwood International.
