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.
