GOLD COASTERS
Due to inclement conditions over the past two weeks, we have been unable to play our Thursday 9 hole fun competition. Hopefully next week will bring us more favourable conditions!!
The midweek golf has proved to be very advantageous in keeping the swing active and playing other competitions in conjunction with the competition of the day!! Many
thanks to Anne for continuing to organise the event with presentation of the most wonderful prizes each week!!
CONDOLENCES
Lady Captain Rosie and members would like to convey their heartfelt sympathies to Eoin Mansfield on the sad passing of his partner Liz which occurred last week.
Liz was a former member of our ladies club, our thoughts and prayers are with her family and also with John and Joan Mansfield at this very sad and difficult time. Rest In Peace Liz.
