Saturday, what a day, the ladies hit off for the second 18. By the time they had played three it was agreed conditions were far too dangerous, the threat of falling trees in the extreme winds so all headed back to the club.
The second and third rounds will be played on Wednesday, September 19 and Saturday, September 22.
The members were giving it to the ladies for calling it off and decided they would brave the wind and hit off thinking the conditions would improve. But like the ladies they only got to the third hole when conditions got worse and then one of the chaps got a call for help from a friend whose home was under threat with the fire that had broken out from a fallen tree on a power line, so they also headed back to the club.
So many have commented that Bombala has not experienced such a day in years with hot gale force winds to cold and snow waking up on Sunday morning to a white Bombala.
There will be a lot of cleaning up to do around the course with fallen trees and plenty of other debris everywhere. So if you have a spare hour or so some voluntary work would be appreciated.
Sunday although cold members played the 4 BBB Stableford that was programmed for the Saturday. This event was for the Late J Haslingden and Paul Halligan trophies.
The winners were Brendan Weston and Wayne Elton 46 pts. Believe Westy carried Rub for the 18 holes.
Balls were won by Westy and Rub, Cary Elton and Ross Brown on a c/b 42 pts. NTP on the 17th Ross Brown.
B Weston’s Trophy programmed for Sunday will be at a later date.
