4 February 2023 - Gerringong Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 8:30am

Most players found the conditions very hard and scoring was much lower than normal.

28/1/23 - Woolooware Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 5:48am

30 players teed off on a warm dry morning with clear sky. The fairways were mainly dry with a thick covering of grass. The Greens were in very good condition with a thick mat that made putting difficult as only a strong putt would get to the hole. Players found that difficult after last week's game at Calderwood where the greens were fast.

The sun came out mid-morning warming things up a lot. It was also very humid. We did not envy the members teeing off later in the day.

The Guzzlers Cup winner was Moz Huertas

2nd Place:                       John Adelerhof (40)

21/1/23 - Calderwood Valley Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 7:00am

21 players enjoyed a beautiful day for golf at the picturesque Calderwood Valley golf course with no rain, little wind and sunny skies. Temperature was in the low 20 degrees

The fairways had a very good grass cover and they had been well mowed and even the rough was in good condition with a reasonable amount of 'run' considering the damp conditions that existed in the Illawarra Region of NSW over night.

The greens were also in excellent condition resulting in a good test for our putting.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Peter Bull

Ray Fenton Memorial: Today is the day appointed in the golfing calendar to recognise the significant contribution made by Ray Fenton to the MGC. Ray was a founding member of the Miranda Golf Club in 1955 and served in most positions of the committee over the more than 30 years during which he played golf in the MGC. The Ray Fenton Memorial Shield is presented to the person with the highest stableford point score on the day. Therefore it is presented to Peter Bull for his 8 over par win today. Peter will have his name inscribed on teh trophy and he will retain it for 12 months.

At today's committee meeting it was decided that a new position should be created on the general committee that of Chief Cook. In a unanimous vote Danny Yu was appointed to the position. Danny's vote of dissent was not considered in light of his obvious bias.

14/1/2023 - The Ridge Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 5:50am

31 players teed off on an overcast morning with dark rain-clouds overhead threatening to spoil the game ahead. It did rain during the round requiring umbrellas several times but not enough to cause players to walk off or not enjoy the course.

30cm preferred lie on the fairways and bunkers were in play. 

The greens were a bit damp due to the rain and that meant that many putts came up short.

There fairways were in good condition with plenty of run.

The Guzzlers Cup winner was Ben Hagan

1st Place:                                            Ben Hagan (41)

In Memoriam:

A player in the 3rd group after our Social Golf Club passed away on the 2nd hole. 2 ambulances navigated the course to get to him but were unable to save his life. 

We extend our sincere condolences to his friends and family.

May he rest in peace.
