GOLF RESULTS
7-Day – On Saturday the mixed winter league played pairs matchplay against the course. A difficult opponent as no mistakes were made by the course. The winners scored a fantastic 6 up. Excellent score by Pat Ward and partner at 1 down

Tuesday – More Match Play this week. In preparation for all our summer matchplay competitions, our ladies played a 4BBB matchplay format. This was followed by a very informative talk from Jo Oliver, our very own knowledgeable and experienced pro golfer. Thank you Jo for giving your time and to Margaret Gentle for organising this for us.
