 WINTER CUP FIRST ROUND @ THE OLD COURSE


Back to another round of golf. The weather forecast promised rain and rain and some more rain. 

20 of us were brave enough to venture out.



Keith, Carol, Paul, Kerry :-) A normal winter for the Europeans....

Well, the weather is not what the blog is about:


Gim comparing white and green tee slopes



Brett marking his ball (only 1??), Gordon very confident and Glen hiding...he doesn't like rain??. 




Goochy showing off the next golf generation: Meet Sebastian




Gerry and Gary confident in having a go at the winter cup, Boris RUK?





Birgit getting ready for the game



nice putter Gordon



3 generations πŸ’“πŸ’“πŸ’“




Was that your best shot Fordy??



Gim & Birgit posing while waiting for the guys

Not many photos were taken during the game, here are a few:

OK, back to the club!
Our normal spot in the clubhouse was not available, hence we had a short after-golf gathering outside.

Here todays results:

Wow, Shelley hitting off the green tee won!!! ☝



Shelley, TJ and Goochy on the podium! 



Boris & Fordy fighting for the lollies

Boris got them in absence of Kerry

Boris calling out the fines, Mark ducking low :-)


Kerry left early and put $10 into the fine box.... just because she had a bad game!
Great sportswomanship! ☝☝
