15 February 2020 - Woolooware Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 6:19am

31 players teed off on a warm morning after a week of torrential rain which threatened to make the course a bog in which plenty of balls would plug. There was no rain  during our game but it was very humid.

The golf course was in very good condition considering the amount of rain that Sydney has had in the past 7 or 8 days.

The greens were in very good condition with no blemishes to speak off - even cover across the entire green although the green might have been a little long but that would be preferred to having them burnt from the ensuing heat.

The fairways were also in good condition except for the low lying areas where water congregates but we had no problem with that as it was "preferred lie through the green".

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Brad Nash.

1st Place:                           Brad Nash (43)
2nd Place:                          Adam Compton (42)
3rd Place:                           Scott Whyte (36)
Pink Ball:                            Rob Guidi (23)

8 February 2020 - The Ridge Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 6:15am

Motorized carts were not allowed out on the course so about 8 of our members who turned up to play decided against it considering they need a motorized cart to get around the course.

10 die-hards ventured out onto the golf course amid heavy rain that was forecast to get even heavier.

Those who played were:
Moz Huertas
James Huertas
Darren McDonald
Matt Saunders
Kelvin (friend of Matt)
Graham Clarke
Chris Lee
Adam Compton
Brad Nash
Peter Bull

The group finished after 9 holes as we were all drenched and the forecast was for even heavier rains to come.

We then had a BBQ which was cooked by Matt Saunders for which we all thanked him.
