Bermagui Social Golfers
Many of us were very woolly headed and worse for wear after Micheal Brown's 50th birthday party the night before. The cobwebs were blown away by the best morning’s weather we've had this spring. The winner was Jim Bryan who kept his head down because it was too painful to lift, with runner-up Roy Struthers from Mal LeComte. Hacker of the day went to Graeme Struthers. Back at the Bermagui Hotel where we had lunch supplied by the publican Luke Redmond we held our presentations with the lucky player draw Mal LeComte and badge draw to Charlie Bennett. NTP winner was Carson Bennett on the 11th. The meat tray went to Roy Struthers and the Veggie Tray winner was Graeme Struthers and Graeme Gunn taking the Pizza Voucher with the bottles of wine going to Mal LeComte.
Thanks again to our sponsors the Bermagui Beach Hotel, Bermagui Pizza, Triple 7, and Needs Butchery. Golfers of any standard welcome each Sunday at 9am at the club.
