Saturday was a cold grey day, as one of the keen golfers commented on the fourth tee this could be Scotland. We were looking out over the water of Lake Oberon at the cold grey mist.
There were 25 golfers playing a Par event. Andrew Yeo was one of the few golfers to play to or better than their handicap. Andrew had a marvellous round of +4 to easily win A grade.

There is lots of work to be done on the course, you don't need to be able to drive a machine but if you can use a whipper snipper or pick up a few sticks you would be most welcome. See Mick for directions.
Ladies golf
A small group of ladies braved the grey skies to play a stableford round last week.
Given the threatening weather conditions, it was decided that a nine hole game would be played and to add something different, the ladies played off the yellow tees.
The going was heavy but the greens were quite good to play, as they recover from the recent renovation.
The winner was Robyn Slattery with 24 points, which was well ahead of everyone else. In second place was Glennie McGrath with 21 points and in third place was Joan Graham with 19 points.
Next week will be a stableford.
