COMMITTEE CLUB BANORA GOLF
last week we celebrated the 90th birthday of our long time member Myra Biggar , still playing golf twice a week
Fourth of November we enjoyed Melbourne Cup Day a few showers dampened spirits for a while then after the game we adjourned to the club “behind the curtain” for lunch , a Melbourne Cup quiz, sweeps and the race!
We played a Medley Fourball , the winners were Vivienne Sulejmani and Dot Robertson with 46 points and the Runners up were Vivienne Sulejmani and Kathryn Colsell with 44pointsAs Vivienne played as a swinger she only gets one prize (not two prizes as shown on the prize report)
Then Thursday 6th Nov we played a 2 stroke Canadian 🇨🇦 The winners were Kaye Mills and Pauline Ryan with 69 nett. Runners up were Marilyn Brown And Colleen Kelly with 73.25
No Golf next week so our Greens staff can do their renovations , the course is looking better all the time it’s very obvious everyone out there is on the lookout for things that will improve our course Thankyou boys!!!!
Only four more Thursday games till we are finished for the year so come on out and make the most of your membership! Because we certainly didn’t get our moneys worth in the first half of the year
Cheers to all from Liz and our hardworking committee

Another sunny day getting warmer all the time, Summer is definitely on the way and so is daylight savings . Starting this Saturday Night!
This week our club is in the midst of the changeover from Golf Link to Golf Connect, with only single games and no handicapping! We were excited to come out today and find that part of the changeover had happened and we all seemed to have new handicaps , most players getting at least one shot back, so there were some good scores . I am sure you will be disappointed to learn that our cards aren’t able to be processed today and when everything is finished being updated it will not accept backdated cards . So back into it next week.
On the 9th Oct we are playing a Pinehurst and on the 16 th we have our OBE Day which will be a single stableford with our OBE’s being treated to coffee and cake( there will be plenty of cake for everyone!!🍰🍰🍰🍰
