OPENING DAY
Wembley Golf course reopened today for club players after 7 weeks of enforced closure while the global COVID-19 pandemic wrecked havoc throughout the world!Sandgropers can feel very fortunate to have been only mildly affected by this contagion compared with many other parts of the world! Living in one of the most isolated cities in the world obviously has its benefits.
THE PERRY LAKE CUP
An early start scheduled for 8.20am got stretched out to nearer our normal tee off time, providing plenty of opportunity for players to catch up on what they had got up to during the long break!It was a cool morning with light wind and a slight smoke haze from surrounding burn-offs.

THE ASH TRAY COLLECTION
The plastic bucket appeared to receive a goodly amount of coins (and a few notes) as players bared their souls for a wide range of erratic and ill judged play.
 |
| Moments after winning her cup, Kerry had turned it into a wine cooler ! |
NEXT WEEK
The 1st round of the Match Play competition will be held on 23 May 2020 and will be played on the Tuart Course. The 2nd and 3rd rounds are on 13 and 27 June respectively.
