Our Lana Benson's Wedding celebration

These are some great photos of our popular Lana Benson who works behind the bar at Gosford Golf Club

Club Member and F-Trooper Rob Benson recently celebrated his daughter Lana's wedding on Saturday 9th April 2016

You may recognise Lana from working behind the bar.

Lana married Dean, a teacher at The Entrance High School and their two year old son Finn was the life of the party. The cocktail style wedding for 120 friends and family was held at the private property on Scenic Highway at Terrigal.  

Beautiful weather, good music and great food was enjoyed by all.

We had the most beautiful day for golf today which was a huge bonus as it was the Ladies Open Day where we welcomed players from other clubs 

My playing partners today were Eileen Major, Elizabeth McNamara and Nan Richards who were great company.  Our golf was not great (we won the encouragement award) however it was not without highlights the best of which was my sandy shot out of the bunker on the 11th into the hole for a much needed two points. In addition to that I won a raffle prize and two golf balls for the encouragement award so it was not all bad.

We had a very busy day at F-Troop today with some big projects to complete.

We had 13 volunteers to share the load.

On hand we had Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Don Nicholls, Rob Benson, Terry Coyle, Steve Hogg, Garry Trigg, Kevin O'Brien, Geoff Bridge, Peter Martin, Di Beechey, Anne Burgess, Jan Martin.

The tree gang of Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Geoff Bridge, Kevin O'Brien, Terry Coyle and Garry Trigg removed three dead trees from around the course including a large tree at the 13th and then loaded the ute with firewood for a delivery after morning tea.

Rob Benson and Steve Hogg were in charge of rubbish pick up around the course and worked hard all morning.

Peter Martin and Don Nicholls picked up hedge plants and potting mix, replanted the hedge plants at the 4th tee, did some plumbing work in the clubhouse, replaced a watering hose at the 14th bush toilets.

Di Beechey and Anne Burgess worked around the clubhouse gardens, underneath the clubhouse, BBQ area and the car parking area picking up rubbish and cleaning out the gardens.

I collected the hedge plants, trimmed the yellow hedge at the 14th roundabout, cleaned up at the 14th Bush toilets, 6th tranquility garden, 3rd tee, 5th tee, collected some succulent cuttings from our existing gardens to use in some new pots for the Ladies garden at the 13th tee, potted up plants removed from the 4th tee to be reused at the wood heap area, checked the hedge plants at the 4th tee.

Morning tea of savoury bread rolls and assorted cakes was very welcome after a hard mornings work. Many thanks to Barto for his sumptuous goodies that he supplies for our morning tea.

After morning tea the boys did a firewood delivery.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
