Heavy rain during the week caused the management of Mt Broughton to close the course on Wednesday and Thursday which also resulted in a decision to not allow carts on the course today (Saturday 29/10/22). This would mean that our players would need to walk a very wet course and pull their clubs on a hand buggy which would be tiring for those who were already tired from the previous day's golf and a night of eating and drinking.
This forced our Secretary, Mick Connor, to seek an alternate venue. Mick was able to secure the Mittagong Golf Course but we could only have motorised carts if we teed off at 6am which our players agreed to do.
26 players teed off on a cool dry morning. The first few holes were very wet underfoot and the motorised carts churned up the golf course and we were surprised that they were allowed out as they appeared to create s lot of dame to the wet fairways.
The sun came out and we started to warm up after about 7am.
