GARDINERS RUN - Monday 4 September 2023

On the first fine and sunny Monday in September, 48 members played at the very scenic Gardiners Run course. The holes varied considerably and were quite a challenge. At no time were we threatened with the forecast rain; only a few damp areas were encountered on the course. The game was followed up with a fantastic lunch and great camaraderie.

2022

 

WATERFORD VALLEY - Monday 7 November
Our last game for 2022 was played at Waterford Valley golf course in Knoxfield.

82 players enjoyed the sunshine, although the course still had wet areas from the huge amount of rain which fell in October. Unfortunately, Waterford Valley has no score recording facilities; therefore, all handicaps and scores needed to be worked out manually on the day. Thanks to Jenny Ward and Geraldine Biggs for their time and expertise in helping with this task.

Our life member Bev Mannix and long-time members Jan Robertson and Pamela Yardney joined us for lunch at our Annual General meeting.

After all the lucky number prizes were handed out, our Silver Salver was presented to Anne Briner and Debra Powell who were the winners on the day - their names will be engraved on the trophy.
