There were 40 players on Thursday and, after golf, the ladies had organised the raffle draw and auction of various sponsored items.

The auction was the highlight, with a considerable amount of money raised for cancer research.

Harold Lyme didn't mind playing off the ladies' markers and his round of 34 points won the afternoon. Eric Whalan was closest the pin on the seventh hole.

Golfers are reminded that if they are tempted to take a short cut on the 16th hole over the car park and don't quite make it, please report that to the club house.

If the incident is reported, we can then make a claim on the golfers' insurance under our Golf Australia affiliation. We need to know who was responsible for that claim to be accepted.

Golfers who hire carts should always fill in the hire book. When you hire a cart, you are responsible for damage done to the cart, such as windscreen, tyres, tip-overs, etc. The person hiring a cart needs a driver's licence and there are only two people allowed on the cart.

Golf this week will be an 18-hole stableford event.
