Well done to Matt Morris, his team, and Dad's Army for completing the new 9-Hole Cart course in record time. The 9-Hole course is, as Dave Burgess has mentioned, Holes 5,6,7,10,11,12,13,14 & 15.
This course will now be our 9-Hole course, taking over from the Dry Red Course that we have been playing over the last couple of weeks.
Please use the path on the left-hand side of the 1st, and follow this around to the 5th Hole - an easy 10 minute stroll on the new road base.
Next week we will still be playing a 9 - Hole competition.
It has been a windy old week, but thankfully, not too much rain. The course is a little drier, as quite a few women found out on Thursday. Hopefully most of the wet weather is behind us and we can start playing 18 holes again.
Unfortunately, The Bowral/Goulburn Shield was cancelled today, due to the course conditions. The 12 girls who were in the team were all looking forward to playing 18 holes on a "dry" course ..... but c'est la vie!! We will reschedule the match for later in the year - at Bowral.
Thanks to Leonie Poulton, Suzanne Ayre, Helen Egan, Carol Warner,
Chris Hill, Ellen Neale, Jill Malone, Jan Tuite, Sue Flaxman, Jane Clifford and Sally-Anne Ferguson for being such willing and flexible Team Bowral.
DAILY RESULTS
Only one competition was played this week due to the windy and cold weather.
Thursday 2nd June - Stableford (9 holes). Winner - Leonie Poulton with 17pts
R/U - Jane Clifford with 15 pts. Well done girls!
It was a brisk start to the day, but we all soon warmed up with the glorious sunshine on our backs.
- Picton Bowling Club - A really easy drive from Bowral, about 35 mins and what a super menu! A blackboard ‘specials of the day’ menu, plus the two regular menus. The dining area is bright with a view over the bowling green and the seating very comfortable. The best part about this was the food, it was fabulous. I had the ‘blackboard’ fish, delicious.
- Les Gourmandises – This is a relatively new patisserie to Bong Bong Street and I must admit I hadn’t seen it until a couple of days ago. It’s not far from our forever favourite Gumnut Patisserie but further along, opposite Barbara’s Storehouse. Now, if clientele are anything to go buy it must be good as it was ‘jumping’ at 4.30pm with people collecting their orders. Everything looked so French. I must say it’s not cheap, but OMG I bet you have to buy something! I left with some crème brulee which was utterly delicious.
- Aldi – Now back to business! The ski gear is due in soon and this is the time we buy the Merino thermals and the wool ski socks which are perfect for winter golf, not too thick, but very warm. Also about this time the ¼ zip Merino sweaters. For those of us that get cold hands - the hand warmers should also appear soon. Keep an eye out as by the time these things are advertised you don’t get much notice from me, as Saturdays seem to be the main event. Early July is the most likely time to get these items.
Stay warm. Jane x
