Many ladies have enjoyed the excellent summer of golf as the Guyra course is in good condition following the plentiful rain. Winners, over the past weeks, of Wednesday competitions have been Pip White, Shona Mulligan and Wendy Jackson.
The Lamb and Potato Festival was a wonderful success this year. Thank you to all the ladies who assisted during our shift, when business was brusque, on the Saturday of the Australia Day long weekend.
Special thanks go to Graeme Shiels, Frank White, Jim Betts, Margaret Swerdlow and Christina Duke for their extra assistance.
Next week’s golf is a Stableford (for Graham Betts Challenge) with the trophy sponsored by Black Mountain Nursery. Starter is Karen Oehlers.
The NEDGA Tournament is in Walcha on the 5th, 6th, and 7th of May with individual championship events on the first two days and the 4BBB on the final day.

Ian Taylor came in with the best score of 79 off the stick. Chris Newberry was close behind with 81 strokes. The Nett Event was won by Ron Lockyer with a score of 70.

Next Tuesday, Glen Innes Vets are holding their Open Day. It would be good if our Vets could support this day.
Several players have indicated that they will travel to Glen. If you would like to play in their Open please contact Terry Varley or Pattie Hill.
Next week we will be playing an Individual Stableford event.
Don’t forget to find a partner for the first day of our Open, which will be held on March 2, followed by an Individual Stableford event on Tuesday, 3 March.

Sailing on Malpas
A moderate SE breeze which made for a great day’s sailing on Malpas on Sunday.
The race sailed was Heat 2 of the Vice Commodore’s Plate.
1st – Josh Daley and Ken Mcdonald – Maricat,
2nd – Chris Wilford and Clarissa Walsh – Tasar,
3rd – Bruce Floyd – Laser.
Although Josh and Ken won on Handicap they had an exciting and very close race and were pipped at the finish line by Chris and Clarissa with a margin of 2 seconds.
