Golf - Sunday 6th March 2022

 We had over 4 inches of rain at our place overnight and after this morning’s deluge. We are not far from the Golf Course so I think it would have been a similar event there.

We did have a drive by this afternoon about 5.30 pm and surprisingly it did not look too bad looking in from Racecourse Road. Obviously it was very wet but not as flooded looking as I would have expected so drainage is happening. 

It was enough rain for the Vets to call off their golf tomorrow.

Sure enough more rain is forecast for tomorrow and Tuesday - the rain bomb continues.

We can only live in hope that the rain bomb will eventually dwindle and sunshine and some wind will save our course - allowing us back on the village green.

Golf - Saturday 5th March 2022

 It was great to see some sunshine and a bit of wind today and so far - no rain.

It will help to get some drainage happening and a step closer to getting back on the course.

Unfortunately more rain is predicted so we have a wait and see situation for golf opportunities next week.

Golf - Thursday 3rd March 2022

 

The Bates and Buttsworth group are really rubbing it in today - enjoying golf in sunshine and 28 degrees.

Yes - a bit of envy happening here 

Meanwhile at Gosford……

A bright moment on my balcony today between the showers.

It was not surprising at all to find the course closed today - we have had non stop showers which is making it impossible for the course to drain and dry out sufficiently to allow play on the course.

The course is closed again tomorrow following similar forecasts.

At this point the weekends are still open so you will need to get an update from the Pro Shop regarding the state of the course before attempting to play.

Ps. If you are bored tomorrow and want to have a chance at winning the Member’s draw (now over $1,700) attend the club between 5.30pm and 7.30 pm - you need to be there to win. There are also seafood/meat raffles following the Members draw. 

Have dinner there to complete your evening - last week I tried the pumpkin soup and it was to die for. Hannah is our new chef and is producing a good choice of meals. See you there!

Golf - Wednesday 2nd March 2022

Some photos from the Bates/Buttsworth golfing tour who wisely chose to go south to the dry country where they are enjoying sunshine and 31 degrees. 

Meanwhile at Gosford……..

 Yes! The big wet has continued with more to follow according to the forecast. 

Our course is drenched along with many of the other courses on the coast and eastern seaboard.

We will just have to hang in with great hope for improved weather.
