We had a great escape from the predicted wet weather that fortunately for us went all out to sea. We had a lot of sunshine with a cold breeze that had our jackets on and off all day.

Our playing partners were Garry and Kay Baillie and we had a very enjoyable day on the village green. We did have some good highlights with Peter being our champion with 35 points.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY:

Debbie Flanagan had an Eagle on the 10th and a good front 9 to earn her 41 point;, Glennis English had a birdie on the 10th and pars on the 6th,1st, 8th, 11th, 14th and 15th; Peter Brown had 21 points on the back 9; David Sillick did not reach the Ladies tee on the 11th in 3 = 1st shot to the 18th path; 2nd shot to the tree beside the bins; 3rd shot 15 metre short of the ditch; 4th shot hit a tree and dropped straight down ( wipe this hole but things did get better;, Bev Way enjoyed a good back 9; Lyn Cruickshanks had 5/3 on the 17th and had some other good 3 pointers; Kath Payn had 4 on the 16th; Duncan Dyer had 5/3 on the 10th and had 3 pointers in a row; Rosalie Dyer had a 4 on the 10th; Gaynor Harvey had 6/4 on the 2nd; Lorraine Bignall had a birdie gobbler at the 1st; Fay Bailey has waited 5 years for her 41 points; Steve Turner had 3/4 on the 3rd and 2/4 on the 14th; Alice Diamond parred the 18th; Brett Margin birdied the 15th; Nigel Asken birdied the 14th; Terry Coyle birdied the 15th;  Vicki Foster birdied the 15th; Lynn Puiatti parred the 1st; George Foster enjoyed his 40 points;  Michael Cheetham birdied the 4th and had an Eagle on the 10th. My highlights were finishing with the same ball I started with and I got out of multiple bunkers in one - but not necessarily where I wanted to go.

Our thanks to Ron Puiatti for sponsoring the day and doing the presentation to winners which also included a bonus win of a sleeve of golf balls to the not so successful winners (that’s us and 3 other teams)  which was very generous of him. 

We all enjoyed seeing our clubhouse full of members after the game ( shades of the good old days)
