35 Members contested this once awesome course which has sadly deteriorated in recent years. Course prep was sporadic with wet greens and fairways, as well as missing tee markers on some tees. And some of the tracks between the greens and tees required 4WD buggies to negotiate !

However some great scores were achieved (with 3 players scoring in 40’s), despite the rough swallowing hundreds of balls.

Sadly, the food in the bar area was very poor quality and it was disappointing to have this served to us take-away style, as if we were in a fish & chip shop ! The committee will be looking for an alternative venue for its AGM next year.

The SAOGA Annual General Meeting was held in the Bar Area after the game, with the existing Committee members being re-elected and Carolyn Kernahan joining the Committee.

Results:

Winner = Ewan McDonald with 41 points;

2nd (on countback) = Marty Goldsworthy with 40 points;

3rd = Kris Rodrigues with 40 points.

The next 6 players were awarded a ball each, down to 32 points.
