The 9 hole Novices were out again this morning, numbers slightly down on the previous weeks, but we still had fun...... and some good shots were made which is very pleasing to see. A special thank you to John Ferguson who is helping the newbies gain confidence in their game.
Someone who doesn't need any introduction is our lovely Michelle Di Natale.

"The kindness of the Bowral ladies in making a donation to our MND Day was so very much appreciated. There was an audible gasp at the presentation when I made the announcement of your generosity. It was a big decision for us to go ahead with the day due to the Covid scare in Goulburn.
Although the amount has not been finalised it looks like we raised around $4000 which was much more than expected considering the circumstances.
Kindest Regards
Gail - GGC President"
Wattle Day is fast approaching - 5th August. If you have anything for the raffle (Spring into Life), please see Pam Barker.
The sign up sheet is in the locker room - we will do the draw after golf on Thursday 29th July.
Unfortunately The Royal Canberra Challenge Bowl has been cancelled for this year. It was meant to be played next Thursday 29th July. The team that was chosen - Jane Clifford, Suzanne Ayre, Jill Malone and Ellie Scott are understandably saddened by the decision, but this Delta strain of Covid seems to be insidious.
Wasn't yesterday a great day to play golf? The sun was shining, the corellas absent, it was warm enough to only have 3 jumpers NOT 4 on and there was a lovely smell of fires burning. One of my playing partners, Faye Frith, became quite nostalgic saying that the smell reminded her of her childhood, when there would be hot potatoes thrown into the bonfires!!
GIRLS GETAWAY
This much anticipated getaway is now fully booked. However, Ellen has left the sign up sheet in the locker room for any girls wishing to pop down for the day on Tuesday to play golf.
RULES
Just a quick one that came up the other day .... moving your ball in the General Area.
Rule 9 covers a central principle of the game: "play the ball as it lies."
