We had a beautiful day for golf today - almost a summer day. The course has dried out and the run is back which has made me happy.
Our playing partners today were Owen and Fran James and we had a lovely day on the village green. Obviously the extra run and good company did it for me and our best highlight of the day was Fran and I winning the Ladies Team Event closely followed by beating the boys for the Keno Ticket at the 17th.
The Golf Event of the day was a Single Stableford + 2 Ball Team Mixed, Men and Ladies.
We had 83 starters withn10 visitors from Ashlar, Everglades, Mullumbimbi, PGA and Shelly Beach.
