01/11/2025 - Woolooware Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 5:54am

29 players teed off on a clear but overcast morning with light rain forecast during our round despite the fact that we could see lightning strikes over the ocean to the east and north-east while driving to the course.

The fairways were generally in good condition with pooled water from the overnight thunderstorms. There was a thick covering of grass but still patchy on some fairways.

The Greens had a good cover of grass but due to the recent rain had not been mowed in the past 24 hours making putting challenging.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Julian Werrett.

1st Place:                         Julian Werrett (37 points)

2nd Place:                        Liam Calverley (35 points) on a count back from Doug Regan

3rd Place:                        Doug Regan (35 points)

Pink Ball:                        Chris Dodd (20 points)
