November 12

There were no surprises when Saturday’s competitions were cancelled and the course was closed for play, due to the forecast thunderstorms and torrential rain flooding parts of the course.

November 11

This past week’s  Friday’s Teams Event was a record with 89 participating players.  Those present enjoyed the free BBQ supplied by the Club.

Last Friday evening saw 20 Teams and 81 Players taking part in the nine-hole Ambrose Event.

At this time, after 4 weeks of play, the overall leader board is shaping up to be a close contest. With only 9 strokes separating the First to Eleventh Teams, so the top seven spots are all up for grabs.

Things are very tight at the pointy end, with less a single stroke separating the top three teams.
