The weather looked real average first up but it improved to be a good day, the southerly wind was still a good two clubs for the afternoon group. The field was down with only 72 players.

Scores for the day were down on what we have been seeing as players might not have wanted to see strokes coming off their handicaps prior to Saturdays Monthly Medal/ Medal of Medals and also qualifying for the Matchplay (top 16 scorers).

On a housekeeping matter, we have two matters we would like highlight,

1. Whilst the fairways and teed have been in good condition, we are starting to see a number of divots not been filled in (most likely social players) so if you see any please fill in with sand, that would be appreciated and will maintain the course in good condition.
2. Please don’t drive your buggies within 15 metres of the green

Now to the golf results, as mentioned we had a field of 72 players

Joke of the Week (thanks Ken Culpitt)

Father Norton woke up Sunday morning and realizing it was an exceptionally beautiful and sunny early spring day, decided he just had to play golf.

So… he told the Associate Pastor that he was feeling sick and persuaded him to say Mass for him that day.

As soon as the Associate Pastor left the room, Father Norton headed out of town to a golf course about forty miles away.

This way he knew he wouldn’t accidentally meet anyone he knew from his parish. Setting up on the first tee, he was alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone else was in church!

At about this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord while looking down from the heavens and exclaimed, “You’re not going to let him get away with this, are you?”

The Lord sighed, and said, “No, I guess not.”

Just then Father Norton hit the ball and it shot straight towards the pin, dropping just short of it, rolled up and fell into the hole.

IT WAS A 420 YARD HOLE IN ONE !!

St. Peter was astonished. He looked at the Lord and asked, “Why did you let him do that?”

The Lord smiled and replied, “Who’s he going to tell?”

Another wet morning greeted the ladies today but happily the sun came out and we were able to complete our round without rain. The course was wet in places but after the amount of rain we have had, was still playable.
Only 23 ladies braved the conditions and the winner with a great score of 37 was Pat Hodda, Runnerup was Helen Evans 33 pts.
NTPs on 7th went to June McFadden and Chris Mills (1 ball each)
Pro Pin $23 won by June McFadden.

rundown went to 30.
Next Thursday is our official opening day so hope to see you all out enjoying the start of our golf year.
