18/01/2025 - Calderwood Valley Golf Course - Ray Fenton Memorial - Individual Stableford - 7:00am

25 players embarked on the long journey to Calderwood Valley from Sydney where wind and rain were quite ferocious during the night and early morning when they left home.

When we arrived at Calderwood Golf Course the skies were over cast but rain and wind had abated allowing us to tee off with an expectation that we might have a good conditions for our game of golf

However after 4 or 5 holes it did start to rain and we had to use our umbrellas and rain gear. The conditions changed several times during the game and we even had blues skies and warm sunshine at one point during 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 albeit a bit damp making putts challenging as they were short of the pin.

Bunkers were out of play and players were allowed 6 inch preferred lie through the green.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Tony Bedingfield
