Monday Pat Donoghue & I travelled to Tully Park for their Open Day. It was a tough course with the day being won by Pauline Jeffreys from Queanbeyan with 88 off the stick. Pat was a winner on the day taking out Runner Up Nett in Division 3. We both scored prizes in the tombola. Leaving Bowral early in the morning it was raining and go worse as we travelled to Goulburn. But alas on arriving the rain was no where in sight and a pleasant day was had by all.

Thursday - Charity Day - it has finally arrived. We have 89 players and a total of 115 for lunch. This year we are implemeting table sittings. This should alleviate the past years problems of not enough seats to go around. Accept our apologies for the crowding of the room but trying to fit 115 people who all want to sit in special places is hard to accomnodate. We hope to rasie lots of money for the 2 charities we have chosen this year, being Harbison Dementia Unit and Wingecarribee Adult Day Care Centre. The ladies committee thank you all in advance for making this day another success.

Todays event was a 3 person coloured ball event. For those members who did not play the rules were.
Each team was given a pink ball. Each player took turns to play a hole with the ball. The scoring was stableford with 2 scores being used, BUT, one of the scores MUST be the pink ball. If the ball was lost or out of bounds you could only record one score per hole. One team that I know of were able to retreive their ball from the lake.
All balls were returned to the committee at the end of the day.
The winners were: Jeanette Schofield, Marcia Jackson & Jane Clifford with 78 points. Runners up were: Fran White, Trish Boyd & Jenny Grant 76.
