Saturday, May 28

A bigger field than usual on Saturday even though the cold weather is starting to come. A lot of jackets, coats and beanies have now been seen on the course, so we know winter is upon us.

In the ball pool was Joe Tartaglia (14), Phil Lloyd (11) both on 36, Deaniee Henderson (20) and Shirley Jenner (22) on 35 got the last two balls. NTPs were Tony Laughlin 3rd, Jenny Waterson 9th, Joe Tartaglia got the money on 13, David Wood on the 16th and no one could find the 5th. We welcomed a visitor Graeme Brierly from Tocumwal, and he duly won the pen award.
