Jeff Saunders attended the presentation after the game to show off the scar from his knee replacement surgery. It has been 6 weeks since his surgery but he may not be back at golf for another 2-3 weeks. I am sure that Susan will be very happy for him to play golf on Saturdays again.

29 June 2024 - Rosnay (Auburn) Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 8:04am

 25 players teed off on a cool morning (15 degrees) with clear skies and a light breeze.

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

The greens had a tick grass cover with only strong putts reaching the hole.

The Bunkers were out of play.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Steve Buchanan

22/06/2024 - Boomerang Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 7:00am

It was raining in Sydney all night before the game including the drive down to the course. The greens staff advised that the course was playable despite the fact that the fairways were soggy underfoot and bunkers were out of play.

Due to the conditions most of those who were scheduled to play chose not to do leaving the Captain no alternative but to cancel the competition game.

However 8 hearty golfers braved the conditions to have a game of golf.

After the game Tim Tillbrook advised:

"The course probably shouldn't have been open with the amount of water that was on the course.

But it didn't rain while we played but rained after we walked off the 18th hole.

Daniel Johnstone had 40 points so the weather obviously did not bother him"

Rob Gillespie underwent his hip operation yesterday (Friday 21 June) and is recovering well from the surgery.

 

15/06/2024 - Calderwood Valley Golf Course - Hacker's Challenge - 9:00am

The Hackers Challenge is a hotly contested competition between the Miranda Social Golf Club and the Engadine Hackers that has been in our playing calendar since 1997. As is the usual case the games were played in good spirits and all involved in the competition appeared to enjoy the experience. 

Miranda was defeated by The Hackers 6 to 2 with one drawn game. Congratulations to The Hackers for an outstanding effort to defeat the Miranda boys. MGC will now look forward to the rematch in 2025.

21 players from Miranda Golf Club and 18 from The Hackers teed off on a cool morning with rain drizzling for most of the morning.

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

The greens were in good condition with a thick mat of grass making putting challenging.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Darren Welsh

1st Place:           Darren Welsh (39 points)

2nd Place:         Fred El-Daher (38)

3rd Place:          Luke Keuenhoff (37)  on a count back from Matt Whibley
