We were able to make some good inroads into our projects including preparation of firewood, rubbish and loose timber pick up around the course, hedge maintenance at the 18th, hedge maintenance at the 4th, clean up of the front street gardens, clean up of the car park, clean up around the clubhouse, 1st and 10th tees, Xanadu gardens, wedding garden and practice nets, cleaning of the bush toilets, watering the greenspace gardens, watering and fertilizing the trumpet vines at the 14th tee, repotting of the mandevillias at the 6th tranquility garden and back of the 5th green, watering the 9th ladies tee garden and the bike garden, watering the Xanadu gardens and 1st and 10th tee gardens, watering pots in the wedding gazebo, dead heading the roses at the putting green, trimming the lower branches of the lily pilly at the 10th tee, watering and clean up of potted plant upstairs.

We certainly earned our morning tea today and we thank Barto for our munchies which were appreciated.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

We had a great day to celebrate Gala Day at Gosford Golf Club.  The weather was perfect to be out on the Village Green.  We were challenged by Greenkeepers Revenge where the pins were put in somewhat difficult places which did not worry some of our good players.

Our playing partners were Mark Stimpson & Alice Diamond who were great company & Mark was our star scoring a nice birdie on the second hole and going on to score 37 points and our team came in one point shy of challenging the winners.

The Golf Event of the day was a Single Stableford + Team 1 x 2 x 3.

The 2017 Presentation Night was held in the Sunset Room of the Gosford Golf Club and was well represented by the Juniors and Lady Members and their families, sadly very under-supported by the male members of the club both winners and even more sadly they had no supporters who felt the need to celebrate their champions.

We enjoyed a very enjoyable meal prior to the commencement of the presentation of trophies.
