13 February 2021 - Woolooware Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 06:17am

It had been raining for most of the night before the game and there was no letup in sight when our first group teed off.

3 or 4 fair weather golfers withdrew when they awoke and saw that it was raining. However, 28 diehards weathered the horrid conditions and played through them. Umbrellas were up all the way around. Even fair-weather Rodney Dixon played through the wet conditions.

The greens and fairways were in good condition. The greens were thick and moist making them slower than normal for putting. The fairways were lush with good green grass cover. There were a few puddles of water in the low-lying areas on the fairways.

30 January 2021 - Calderwood Valley Golf Course - PAR Event - 7:00am

22 players teed off on warm but drizzly overcast morning. The mountains that surround the course to the west and south-west were cloaked with clouds. 

The greens were slower than expected and the fairways covered in a thick green mat. There were puddles of water on most fairways which had forced the green staff to not allow motorized carts onto the course.

The lake was full of water and the creeks were raging torrents.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Steve O'Grady.
