GOLD COASTERS
Our little group had another day out on Friday to beautiful Lismore for lunch in one of it’s prime hostelries. Our little jaunts away from golf and it’s trials and tribulations is vital for the wellbeing of the group, as we discuss everything from politics, religion, entertainment and current affairs.
Every aspect of life and living is on the agenda apart from golf, it’s not even mentioned! Yet, we come home energised and ready to do battle again on the course in the name of the Winter League!
Lunch was a spectacular event with superb food, service and magnificent company. Thanks a mill again to Anne for organising another memorable day out, she never fails to deliver!!
