It will also be lovely to go into the Clubhouse after golf and enjoy some camaraderie with the other gals. However, I, and I'm sure others, are going to miss Tim and Kevin bringing out lovely sandwiches - 'spose we can't have everything!!
If you are not sure what the actual rules re Covid-19 and golf are at the present, please go to GNSW website and click on Covid-19 update (7th October) for more information and FAQ's.
Apart from the wind of late, we have been enjoying some early summer temperatures. Thursday was particularly lovely and the summer golf gear was in abundance on the golf course - see photo below!
The little family of ducks were enjoying a lunchtime swim on the pond on 13th!

WHITTAKER'S WINNERS
- Priceline - Summer is not that far away and we already need to think of sun protection. For several years now I have been using Roche-Posay 50+. It was recommended to me by a dermatologist for its non-greasy and sensitive skin qualities. It’s a very light milky lotion that is pocket size and is mess free! Great on ears (blokes take note) and that very vulnerable ‘V neck. Remember to shake well!
- Aldi – This is a very hard to get item and it only seems to appear leading in to Christmas. It is the frozen ‘Honey Roasted Caramelised Parsnip’. This is a serious Winner from me that sells out very quickly - I’m telling you now so that you can keep an eye on its' availability. The parsnip is cut length-ways and coated so just put the amount you require in an ovenware dish without oil and bake it. You will be amazed how good it is. It is in the frozen vegetable section.
- Aldi – Another summer essential that is due to appear soon is the Electrolyte Tablets that dissolve in water. Pop one in your water around about the 15th hole and you are guaranteed to breeze home.
It’s not long to go now before lockdown ends and the shops re open. Just think how good it will be to indulge ourselves in retail therapy, the real deal!
