18/11/2023 - Woolooware Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 5:32am

 24 players teed off on a morning that was coolish at 5:30am but warmed up pretty quickly. No wind and no rain.

The fairways were dry with a thick covering of grass.

The Greens were in very good condition which was probably due to the preparation of the course for the golf club's recent Club Championship - thick mat that was good for putting as putts ran true as long as you could get the ball to the hole. 

The Guzzlers Cup winner was Steve Buchanan

11/11/2023 - Calderwood Valley Golf Course - 2BBB Competition - Individual Stableford - 7:00am

25 players teed off on a warm morning on a day that was forecast to reach 26 degrees with no wind or rain. On the way down to the coursed there was a lot of low lying fig but there was none of that on the course.

The weather was nice for golf.

The fairways had a very good grass cover and they had been well mowed producing a reasonable amount of 'run' and the rough was in good condition.

The greens were also in excellent condition and fast for our putting.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Luke Keuenhoff with 46 points

1st Place 2BBB Team:          Luke Keuenhoff & Tony Bedingfield (49 points)

2nd Place 2BBB Team:        Chris Lee & Curtis Pennini (46 points)
