Golf - Sunday 24th December 2023 - Christmas Eve

 The dire weather forecast for today did not happen - but it was the whole four seasons in one day - starting with a cool overcast morning, followed by strange cloud formations ranging from dark purple to silver grey. It became more threatening with huge thunder claps that scared the daylights out of us, lightning was not obvious but was not far away. We had light showers that were not enough for us to bother with rain gear. This was followed by a break in the rain with sunshine and blue skies and humid heat. At least it was better than full on rain which is what we were expecting and it was great to be able to finish our round of golf.

Our playing partners today were Terry and Sandra Coyle who were great company. Both of them had good respectable games winning a ball each and Sandra won nearest the pin on the 12th hole with a great drive to the green - narrowly missing a birdie putt. My highlights were sinking some good putts and finishing with the same ball I started with.


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

We had 59 starters with 7 visitors from Woolooware, GenY, The SGA, Centenary Park, Northbridge and Cromer.

F-Troop - Monday 18th December 2023

 


F- Troop Morning Tea - Rob Benson, Don Nicholls, Trevor Harrison, Peter Martin, Bev Way, Lyn Bates, Leeanne Binns, John Hollebon, Duncan Dyer and Sam Knox (Jan Martin)



My offsider Darcy on raking duty today


Leading up to Christmas we had a good number of volunteers who had time to give to our projects which was great.

On hand we had Sam Knox, Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Rob Benson, Peter Martin, Don Nicholls, John Hollebon, Bev Way, Lyn Bates, Leeanne Binns, Jan Martin.

Projects worked on today were firewood preparation, loose timber and rubbish pick up around the course, hedge maintenance, Garden maintenance at the practice nets garden, Gardens at the 2nd, 3rd and 5th tees, 18th tee including watering of gardens where possible, blowing of paths at the BBQ gardens and around the clubhouse.

It was disappointing for us to know today that Ron Gowing has retired from F-Troop due to health issues. We really have appreciated Ron’s input over the number of years he has been coming. He has kept the front of the clubhouse and the paths to the tees and practice nets in pristine condition every Monday and his garden advice has been invaluable. Thank you for your efforts Ron and we will miss you. We hope your garden advice will still be at the end of the telephone.

Being school holidays the grandchildren need attention so one of my little ones helped me out for a couple of hours in the gardens before we headed off early to attend the other two grand daughter’s dance concert.

After a hard morning’s work morning tea was most appreciated.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Duncan and Rosalie Dyer







The Richard Casey Memorial Golf Day was a huge success with 104 starters supporting the day.

Leonie, Kieran and family put together a great day of golf in memory of Richard. The day was followed by fresh sandwiches served upstairs in the much appreciated air conditioning after a hot morning on the golf course.

The Golf Event of the day was a 4 person Ambrose - 8.30 shotgun start.

It was a hot day so an early start was good.

Popular Winners on the day were old mates of Richard’s so very appropriate.

WINNERS: Clyde Cruickshanks, John Allen, Guy Moss and Keith Bourne.

I understand that this will become an Annual Event - possibly about September so be sure to book in again next year.

Happy Birthday Glennis English


We had a Ladies Golf free day so we could enjoy the 2023 Presentation day which included pre-lunch drinks, a beautiful baked dinner followed by dessert.

The day was well supported by our lady members and we all had a very enjoyable day.
Congratulations to all of our winners today and big congratulations to Debbie Flanagan, Suzy Waugh, Kim Cardiff together with our social committee who did an exceptional job.

The room looked fantastic - so credit to all envolved.
