19 June 2021 - Calderwood Valley Golf Course - Hackers Challenge - Individual Stableford - 7:00am

 26 players from the Miranda Golf Club teed off on a cool overcast morning where rain was forecast. Players were hopeful that the wind would drive the rain out to sea and it did for all but the last 5 holes. However it was not too wet. 

We had a SHOTGUN START in the Hackers Challenge and the wind was very strong and gusty - on some holes it was behind you on the tee and across the fairway for your second shot and then in your face as you approached the green - all on the one hole. Very difficult conditions and the scores reflected that.

The greens were fast early.

The fairways were in good condition however there were a few puddles of water visible all over the course.

The lake was full of water and the creeks were flowing.

10 Groups teed off in the Hackers Challenge which was won by the Hackers 6 games to 2 with 2 drawn games.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by James Huertas

1st Place:                            James Huertas (35)

2nd Place:                          Peter Bull (34)

12 June 2021 - Rosnay (Auburn) Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 7:30am

29 players teed off on a dry but very cold morning. It took our hands 4-5 holes to warm up enough to properly hold a golf club.

There was no rain or showers during our round and it did warm up after the sun came out

The greens were in very good condition and quite quick. The rough was not too thick and the fairways had a lush green thick cover that allowed the ball to sit high enable good contact.

 Guzzlers Cup was won by Danny Yu.

8 May 2021 - Boomerang - Individual Stableford - 6:30am

26 players teed off on a warm and sunny morning.

The course was pretty wet underfoot. The greens were moist and held the ball for approach shots. As a result putting on the greens was slow.
