An enthusiastic 65 Vets (54 Men and 11 Ladies) traveled to Gordonvale Golf Club this morning to play an 18 Hole Stableford in the Consistency Trophy series.The weather was very mild and only the slightest hint of precipitation. The fairways,as seems to be the case at most clubs this year, were in all time best condition: and, the greens responded to a good firm putt which resulted in some very good scores.
A thank you to Manager Elliott and Bar attendant Marion for your friendly service, as well as the green staff and volunteers.
Our sponsor today was Brothers Leagues Club on Anderson Street. Visit the club for a cool refreshment, a tasty meal in Fratelli's restaurant or even a flutter on the pokies.and remember - gamble responsibly.
