We enjoyed a lovely day on the Golf Course today welcoming in the New Year. It was threatening some showers but we did only have cloud cover and some nice breeze that cooled down the course to be comfortable. Our playing partners were Col and Lauren Matterson who both had great games gave us some good highlights. Peter had a good game and won the day with a well earned 40 points. I saved my highlights for the 18th hole where (after negotiating my way through the palm trees on the left of the fairway) I placed a nice pitching wedge shot over the sand bunker and over the pin and then sank a long putt for a good 7/2. Happy days!

The Golf Event of the day was a Medley Single Stableford.

We had 62 starters with with 5 visitors from Shelly Beach and Woolooware.

SOME GOOD NEWS ON THE HEALTH FRONT OF OUR MEMBERS:

ROBIN INCOLL:

Robin has shown signs of recovery from her stint in ICU at Gosford Hospital. News from her son Duncan tells us that her health has improved although she is far from “out of the woods”. Robin is in ward G, room 418 and she is accepting visitors ( only 2 visitors at any given time) so please co-ordinate your visits so Robin is not overloaded. This is such great news and we wish Robin a good recovery albeit over a period of time.

JOYCE BOSLEY:

I understand that Joyce has had a stint in hospital with Covid but is now back at home. Dick is also positive but is showing no symptoms. 

There have been a lot of our members having Covid infections and are recovering at home . We wish them a quick recovery and hope to see everyone back at golf soon.
