December's program...

Sunday's Charity Day - Wingecarribee Adult Day Care

Yesterday was a successful day for the Adult Day Care charity, a full field enjoyed the great course conditions, fine weather and good company after the round in the Club House.  Well done to the winners... there were many.  Golfing prizes, raffles and silent auctions.

Well done to the organisers and sponsors  which included your club. The "hole in one car" on the sixth was not one but there were a couple of nearest to the pin winners.
