It is nice to see the sun shining and a good turnout of Grumpies today.  Fingers crossed the weather is this good on Thursday for our Murray Halberg Day – don’t forget cards need to be in by 11.30am for a midday tee off – entry is $20.  Don’t forget to bring plenty of cash as there is a raffle and an auction following golf.

Please remember to get your entries in for the 36 Hole Mixed Foursomes on Saturday 11th November.  If you need a partner let the office know and we will endeavour to find you someone.

On Wednesday the Ladies also played a Stableford with Marion McKenzie winning with 43 points, Marie Scrimshaw 42 and Angela Busby 34 points.  Nearest the pins went to Carol Parkinson on #6 and Marion McKenzie on #8.  Twos went to Carol, Marion, Marie and Sandra Petersen.

There were a few hardy souls who battled the wind and the rain on Thursday but this didn’t seem to bother the winner, Trevor Petersen, as he came in with 42 points, Robbie Walters 39, Lachie McLeod and Jason Burt 36, Andrew McKenzie, Mariana McDermott, Andy Morison and Ro Griffiths 35 points.  Nearest the pin was Dayle Harwood and twos went to Seamus O’Sullivan (2), Dayle Harwood, Rob Smith and Jason Shaw.
