Christmas arrived at Club Banora with a bang today. The lovely Santa Shirts were every colour you could think off with red being the choice of many teamed with with white shorts. Buggies were decorated with lots Of tinsel and sparkled in the sunny conditions. The wind came up very strongly mid morning and bits and pieces of tinsel found its way onto the fairways!!
