5 December 2020 - The Ridge Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 5:30am

 27 players tee off on a warm clear morning on a day where the temperature was forecast to reach 30 degrees.

I did not play for health reasons but I have been told by one who did that "the greens were absolutely horrible, full of potholes and bare patches" but the fairways were apparently in their usual good condition.

Ben Spiers got the longest drive - He had driven to Gerringong in error.

28 November 2020 - Gerringong Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 9:00am

26 players teed off later than normal on a day that threatened to be a stinker which is exactly what it was. High 30s with little cool ocean breeze to take the edge off made the day unbearable for some who did not finish 18 holes.

The fairways were mainly lush and green with the greens were well covered with no blemishes or uneven grass to speak off but they were in the main fast for putting.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Matt Whibley

1st Place:                           Matt Whibley (37)

2nd Place:                          Chris Lee (34)

Fred El-Daher won the Guzzlers Guzzler

 

31st October 2020 - Riverside Oaks Golf Course (Gangurru) - Annual Day - Individual Stableford - 10:50am

38 players teed off on a clear dry morning on a day for which the forecast was 70% rain. We were in the 8th group and there was drizzle with small hale stones at times but we didn't need our wet weather gear until we were coming down the 18th fairway.

At times it was quite warm and muggy.

The greens and fairways were in great condition. The greens were not as fast as we expected but that could have been due to heavy rain in the area over the past 3 days.

Denis Daniels had a fall off a ladder when it slipped last week and has broken his funny boner. Garry advised that he is good spirits but said that there is nothing funny about it.
