There were no highlights reported to me so there must not have been a lot of excitement out on the course today. Being a stroke day, it has the ability to bring out the worst shots in us.

I found a lot of bunkers today and my highlight was getting out of them with the first shot although one effort did finish up in a bunker on the other side of the green. A nice long putt into the hole on the 3rd to scramble a five made my day. My playing partners Yvonne & June were great company so the day was worthwhile.

Golf - Sunday 22nd March 2009

The event of the day was a 2 Ball Team plus Singles Men and Ladies.

We had 113 starters with 9 visitors from Kareela, Magenta, South West Rocks, Terrigal, Tumbarumba & Wyong.

Our playing partners today were Lyn & Clyde Cruickshanks & we had a really good day, pity about some of the golf but the company was good. We had some great highlights one of which was Clyde having his buggy run amok into the bunker on the left hand side of the green as Clyde watched his ball glide nicely onto the green. Clyde was very cool and went on to score a 3/3.

Lyn patiently picked up his sand bucket & gathered up all the balls, tees, markers, gloves etc that had scattered out of the buggy & into the sand.

As I have been away from golf for a while I had a bit of catching up to do so I am sorry I did not get around to gathering highlights from todays match - but I am sure there were many.

From our group Yvonne Wilson chipped in a lovely gobbler on the second hole, June Bowen got a nice lot of 3 pointers to help our team, Rosalie Dyer had a 4/4 and my highlight was scoring 20 points on the first nine before my wheels fell off.
