Not the biggest turnout of Grumpies today – perhaps the weather has put some off or maybe they just decided to stay home and watch the Melbourne Cup.
Coming up this weekend we have the 36 Hole Mixed Foursomes – tee off is 9.00am and entries are still being taken so let the office know if you wish to play.
