25th March 2017 - Calderwood Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 07:00am
Rain threatened all week but on the morning of the events there was nothing but blue skies. However the course was very wet underfoot and the rain during the previous week had meant that the rough had not been mowed resulting in many lost balls and difficult lies. The course management tried to compensate by declaring "preferred lies through the green" but even "tee-up through the green" would not have helped in a lot of cases. Many players though that the course should have been closed as even tough motorised carts were not allowed on the course even hand pulled buggies left , in some cases, deep ruts on the fairways.

18 March 2017 - Woolooware Golf Course - 1 Ball Best Ball - 06:47am
8 players teed off on a morning that according to the weather forecast was going to be wet and miserable with 50-70 mm of rain.
The course was very wet underfoot and carts were not permitted on the course. All of the dams were full and the area between the 9th green and the 6th green was inundated with water. In placed in was close to 320 mm deep.
As luck would have it we did not get any rain for the first 5 or 6 holes and then we had a few moderate showers that caused us to don out wet weather gear and put up the umbrellas but we did not get too wet. The last 6 or 7 holes were completely rain free.
The Guzzles Cup was won by Rob Gillespie.
