What a beautiful morning, and what a great turnout of members for this monthly game at Gisborne!

I would like to thank all our members for their patience with respect to the delay in our tee-off time. Our group was delayed by approx 30 minutes due to a hold-up with the previous social group.

Teeing off on the first hole went very well and everyone, or should I say, almost everyone (except for Tony Kastropil) managed to hit a reasonable drive. Tony did you make the ladies tee? Tony had the shortest drive on that hole and there were consequently a lot of comments flying around about it afterwards. Hope your game improved from then on Tony!

I must say my own game was not pleasant at all, on reflection, looking back on the 13th hole 456m downhill being 6ft from the bunker in front of the green for 2 and finishing the hole with a 10. How embarrassing! Then there were the other holes, too boring to mention. Needless to say, I was not happy with my game!

The course presented itself very well and played hard, as always. The greens were so hard to read and master. The pin placements all-in-all were also quite a test!

All 33 players enjoyed the day including the BBQ, presentation and raffle afterwards.

Until we meet again at Club Championship in Shepparton/Mooroopna.

PS Great to see some new faces in the ranks, and to see some of the old ones after long injuries, namely the Lesiw family, Paul Teres and Michael Kwas.
