28 players was the maximum compliment permitted to tee off by Woolooware GC and we achieved it with ease. The weather was perfect for golf achieving a beautiful 20 degrees towards the end of our round. As a result of the the fairways and rough being very wet underfoot and badly damaged by carts or green-keeping equipment, we were required to play "preferred lie through the green". The good news was that the greens were perfect.
