The Blog today will be fairly brief, due to the fact that the course has been closed most of the week. HOWEVER, on a brighter note, the sun is out this morning, and I notice a lot of women are booked in to play the 9 Hole Competition today - enjoy it!!
Well we have another 2 weeks of lockdown, so the Covid restrictions are still in place - please see below re Local Rules.
There are a record 54 players in the field - 27 pairs over the 3 divisions - how exciting!! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE.
The following week - 6th and 7th September, the course will be closed due to the Greens Renovations. On Thursday 9th there will be a 2 person Ambrose - Green keeper's Revenge. This is always a fun event, so pop your names down on the booking sheet if you have not already done so.
Unfortunately, The Braidwood Open Event on Sunday 12th September has been postponed, and The Stabrose Event @ Goulburn on Wednesday 15th September has been cancelled.
Congratulations to Ellen Goodwin on winning the Challenge Bowl for 2021. Ellen and Andrea Tomlin played the final on Monday, and, by all accounts, it was a tight match. Ellen won on the 17th (2/1). Well done to you both!!
