The 1st round of the Spring Cup attracted 23 members and a guest, Shelley Skinner, to the Tuart Course for a stroke competition over two weeks. The weather forecast was for 1 to 3 mm of rain, however we were very fortunate to miss all but a minor sprinkle or two, so there were no excuses for weather affected play!
 |
| Gary, Shelley (guest), Derek & Birgit under overcast skies. |
Shelly is accustomed to playing in Auckland and does not currently have a handicap rating however, her drive off the 1st tee suggests a serious golfing prowess!
 |
| Lynne & Lynley not taking any chances with the rain forecast! |
 |
| Club President Brett Fordham recounting his recent fishing exploits with Club Vice Captain Earle Scarff |

Play

 |

President's Address
Brett noted that Glenn Kelly was seeking sponsors for his 200 km 'Ride for Research' bike ride to raise funds for a WA based cancer research institute. Anyone wishing to donate to this good cause can refer to the links supplied by Gerry Tessier in his email.
Again, no birthday's to celebrate this week!
