Our thoughts go out to everyone who have family or friends in Victoria. What a time they are having. I noticed in yesterday's GNSW newsletter that even the golf courses are closed!
I mentioned in last week's Blog that the Match Play index is on the "old" scorecards. Well .... the index is now on the back of the new MiClub cards. Good luck to the girls who are still playing matches! 2nd round of the Challenge Bowl has to be played by 6th June.
The men (and a few women) have been working terribly hard on the 8th and 9th Holes. All is looking pretty good for us to get back to normal next week.
Mind you - I think a few of us have been enjoying getting 5/4 on the 8th!!
Here are 2 happy gals achieving such a score yesterday!!
