4 December 2021 - The Ridge Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 5:30am

32 players teed off on a dull overcast morning with dark clouds ominously threatening to drown us with rain at any moment. Luckily however the rain never eventuated although the dull overcast skies persisted throughout the day. 

The greens and fairways were in good condition however the bunkers were hard and wet with no rakes so it was preferred lie in the bunkers.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Peter Bull

27 November 2021 - Rosnay (Auburn) Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 6:30am

Motorized carts were not permitted on the course due to heavy rain that had fallen on Sydney over the previous days making the fairways and walkways very wet under foot. 

The greens however were surprisingly firm and did not seem to hold the water. Putting wasn't too difficult at all.

10 hearty individuals did turn up at the course and had a social game of golf as the Captain had called off the MGC club competition due to the fact that there were less than 12 players in attendance prepared to play golf.

Those present were:

Jeff Saunders

Fred Pearce

Grant Thompson

Brian Delica

Danny Yu

Jono Muhs

Steve Buchanan

Mick Connor

Fred El-Daher

Peter Bull

Just as were started to tee off the rain started to fall. It was never heavy but a constant light rain fell and affected play. The wind was light to moderate at times and did not appear to cause too many problems on the course.

The weather forecast from the BOM predicted heavy rain by mid morning so when Peter Bull, Mick Connor and Fred El-Daher finished 9 holes they pulled out. Fred was finding it hard to maintain a grip on his golf club and Peter & Mick were "just not feeling it".

Danny Yu, Jono Muhs and Steve Buchanan appeared to be unphased by the conditions and continued to play the  course.

20 November 2021 - Woolooware Golf Course - CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP - FINAL ROUND - Individual Stableford - 5:32am

32 players teed off on a clear morning with a weather forecast of a rain and possible thunderstorms but we hoped that it would be dry until we finished our round which it was. 

The greens and fairways were in good condition. The greens were moist making them a bit slower than normal for putting. The fairways were lush with good green grass cover.
