Well we thought last week was windy, well it wasn’t a patch on what we played in today. It just roared over the course from the North, at times putting in an extra effort with huge gusts. Guess the ground staff will be very busy picking up palm fronds tomorrow.

We did actually get our golf in today and the winners were Daphne Andersen and Bev Culpitt who must have loved the wind with a score of 72 7/8. The runnersup were Kaye Mills and Rosie Connolly with 75 7/8

NTP winners were Marilyn Brown Bev Culpitt.

Pro Pin Kaye Mills. $27

Our ladies who have spent the last few days in Yamba at their annual tournament acquitted themselves very well with quite a few prizes being bought back to Banora. Well done ladies, I hope you all enjoyed yourselves and your well earned break.

Tomorrow Desley Harrington and Denise Melling will travel to Kyogle to compete in the L G U Medal playoffs for the Northern Rivers District for an opportunity to head off to the “big smoke” for the finals. Play well ladies and enjoy your golf where I believe you will be playing tee up.

Have a good week, see you all next Thursday for our Special Events Presentation.

Another windy day, but nice and sunny. I had eighty nine members play in a 4Man Ambrose which to me says it was very popular for a midweek game. It was different to the norm which was a good change.
Don’t forget and turn up next Wednesday. You will be playing with the ground staff. Green Reno time.

Winners today with a fab score were: Greg Seymour, Cliff Deacon, Ken Wood, John Gardiner with, wait for it 54.

Congratulations to all winners and commiserations to the also rans, maybe the dancing at the Roaring Twenties night had something to do with the state of play.

A lovely drop of well needed rain on the weekend but as usual the sun shone on the vets today.Sorry I could not play as I had a dose of Bali Belly and got no sleep Sunday night.The course must have been easy with the high scores in and run down to 37 all in. A grade winner Keith Cooper (18) 39pts on c/b B winner Wayne (dingy) Martlew (20) 42pts and C winner Terry (who was going to bowls last wk) Trevitt (28) 43pts. Also rans A Kim Thackery (18) 39pts B John Dalley (23) 41pts and C Michael Patterson (30) 39pts.Well done to all you chaps. Good golfing and mental health cheers capt Dave.

Todays event changed to a Single Stableford.

Again today we were blown around the course, today it was a cold southerly, jumpers required to keep out the icy wind. It would be so nice to enjoy a round of golf without being blown from pillar to post. Ah well, if it blows in some rain, we’ll all be happy.

Today we played a single stableford event and you would think some of our ladies played on a different course!! Daphne Andersen played a sensational round (obviously a wind player) and scored 44 points. Daph is having a purple patch at the moment , having had several wins over the past few weeks. Our 1st runnerup was Doreen Leopold 40 points, also a great round of golf under the conditions and 2nd runnerup was Lucy Ablett 39 points . Lucy is also playing very well at the moment. Congratulations ladies, great golf.

To those ladies heading to Yamba on Sunday have a great time and I hope the weather gods smile favourably on you this year.
