3/2/2024 - Rosnay (Auburn) Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 6:47am

27 players teed off on a warm but overcast morning with a slight breeze - a perfect day for golf.

The grass cover in the 'rough' off the fairways was a bit thick causing players a bit of difficulty striking thee green from the rough.

The greens were in very good condition.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Gary Barnes

2nd Place:                          Jeff Saunders (40)

27/1/2024 - Woolooware Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 6:00am

28 players teed off on a warm but overcast morning. There was a light drizzle for most of the 18 holes of golf. That together with the humidity (Dew Point of 23.7 degrees) made the golf less enjoyable than had been expected.

The fairways were mainly dry with a thick covering of grass.

The Greens were generally in very good condition although the surface grass carried a lot of moisture making putting challenging. 

The Guzzlers Cup was won by John Adelerhof.

1st Place:                         John Adelerhof (40) on a count back from Graham Clarke

2nd Place:                        Graham Clarke (40)

20/1/2024 - Calderwood Valley Golf Course - Ray Fenton Memorial - Individual Stableford - 7:30am

32 players teed off on a warm morning on a day that was forecast to reach the high 20 degrees with no wind or rain. The weather was nice for golf early but warmed up late in the round.

The fairways had a very good grass cover and they had been well mowed producing a reasonable amount of 'run' and the rough was in good condition.

The greens were also in excellent condition and fast for our putting.

2nd Place:         Chris Lee (38 points) on a count back from Tony Bedingfield

13/1/2024 - The Ridge Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 6:20am

32 players teed off on a very warm morning that was forecast to reach 30 degrees near the coast and 34 degrees out west with little chance of rain until Sunday.

30cm preferred lie on the fairways. 

The greens were in very good condition and fast for putting.

The fairways were in good condition with plenty of run although there were some patches where water from recent rains had accumulated making the area a bit boggy.

The bunkers however did not have a lot of sand in them with the hessian matting showing through in places.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Scott Whyte

1st Place:                                            Scott Whyte (42)

2nd Place:                                           Mark Walton (38) - count back from R.Dixon, D.Yu & S.Baker
