Mitch Ballard - teeing off at the 10th for the cost of a gold coin

which would have contributed to the Eagles and Birdies at the 10th today.

With Norma Wilks, Mona Maher and Faye Levenspiel at the 5th Tee.

We had a picture perfect day for our special Invitation Day.  My Team Members were Mona Maher, Faye Levenspiel and Norma Wilks.  We had a very enjoyable day even though we were forced to be honest players because none of us got one of the indulgence packages which would have allowed us to have freebies throughout the match which contributed to all the enormous scores that came in. We did have some excellent holes where we scored double 3 pointers etc and our best highlight was Mona's gobbler chip in for a par at the 10th.

The Golf Event of the day was a Ladies Team Stableford - Invitation Day.

We had 96 starters with 28 visitors from Terrigal, Everglades, Wyong, Mangrove Mountain, Toukley, Shelly Beach, Magenta, Charlestown, Merewether, Narromine.

We were all kept busy with various projects including the removal of pine trees at the 1st tee, more work done on replacing the garden edge boards at the 6th tee, trimmed shrubs and trees shading the 6th tee, hedging at the 1st and 10th tees, camellias at the 10th trimmed to a manageable height, rubbish and loose timber pick up around the course, removal of fireweed from around the course, cleaning of the bush toilets, tidying the 14th green space, tidying the 6th tranquility garden, tidying the 3rd ladies tee, tidying the 2nd green garden, cleaned up another section of the 17th dogleg garden. 

After a hard mornings work we appreciated morning tea of iced buns, donuts and savoury breads. Thank you Barto!

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Golf - Sunday 18th September 2016

Eddie Rogers (Runner Up Men's Singles) and Carolyn Buttsworth (Winner Ladies Singles)

with President Paul Scholberg.

With Paul and Angelique Scholberg at the 10th Tee (before the rain set in)

Vicki Foster's drive from the 9th Tee had a rather unfortunate settling spot

Robbie Whyte's shot at the 1st (another unfortunate settling spot)

Our playing partners today (which was to have been Legacy Day) was Paul and Angelique Scholberg.

In our wisdom (after checking the radar) we decided that there would only be light rain for a short while and then it would all clear to a perfect golf day.   Wrong! The first few holes were acceptable, but instead of getting better it got worse to the point that we were playing through steady rain! Not happy Jan! We were lucky that the company was good because our golf got a bit ordinary at times. Our best highlight was Angelique's gobbler chip in on the 5th hole.

The Golf Event of the day was to have been Legacy Day Team Event which was wisely cancelled due to the inclemant weather and the Legacy Cup cancelled until next year. Instead there was a Single Stableford for Men and Women for those still willing to play.

We had 45 starters.

RESULTS:

MEN'S SINGLES RESULTS:

WINNER: George Foster - 39 points

RUNNER UP: Eddie Rogers - 37 points

WOMEN'S SINGLES RESULTS:

WINNER: Carolyn Buttsworth - 37 points

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY as reported to me: Angelique Scholberg had a gobbler on the 5th; Paul Scholberg had a lot of good pars; Carolyn Buttsworth had 37 points playing steady golf in steady rain; Kay Baillie's highlight was finishing with a 6/3 in the pouring rain on the 18th; Ray Buttsworth had 5/4 on the 10th; Vicki Foster scored a nice 31 points including a 658 ft putt at the 17th for 5/3; George Foster scored a great 39 points including a birdie on the 2nd; Doug Incoll had 3/4 on the 5th; Anne Forrester and Brent Frewin both scored a nice 34 points each; Jan Walker had 6/3 at the 10th, 4/4 at the 11th, 4/3 at the 1st; Robbie Whyte's highlight was playing with Craig, Derek and Eddie; my highlight was definitely finishing and being an improved player on the second nine. I am not a wet weather golfer so finishing today was very good. 

Golf - Saturday 17th September 2016

Some of our 202 golfers who tried their luck on the village green today!

My thanks to Scott Cubis for the above photos.

This is an interesting story.......

Geoff Hall returned to golf today after a spell due a workplace accident. Geoff lost his grip on his 3 wood after a nice follow through after hitting off the 6th Tee which resulted in the club floating in Narara Creek.  Someone had to help - so his mate Scott Pilarski made his day by swimming out and saving the club from certain death!  Well what are mates for? Must have been worth some laughs and at least a beer after the match! Well done Scott!

The Golf Event of the day was a Men's Monthly Medal Single Stroke.

We had 202 starters with 15 visitors from Bayview, Everglades, Woolaware.
