It looks like we have had some success with the computer and the results online are correct now. Apologies for any misleading results being published as the front and back of office system were having a time out and not talking to each other!

11.24pm John Olsen, Darrn Hubery, Wayne Muir and Will Salter.

Please logon and double check your own tee times just in case it has moved however, Barry has tried to do the seedings without too much disruption to the times.

I am still working fulltime and the position I hold as Captain is purely as a VOLUNTEER and I would like enjoy my round before dealing with any issues that have arisen. If my availability on a Saturday afternoon doesn’t work in with your time schedule, you are always more than welcome to send an email to GolfCommittee@twintowns.com.au or write a letter and leave it at the Pro Shop to pass on.

Hit it hard and hope you find it.
