JUNE 2015 NEWSLETTER
Dear Lefty,
So many matters to report on these past months so here we go.
Warragul – on Thursday 14 May 2015. WET! That’s the only word we can use but it did not dampen the enthusiasm of all who played and thanks to Leigh Greening and President, Chris Morris for organising the day. The course is a really good test of golf and the new Club House is just brilliant. Results of the day were-:
Winner:Max Shearman (17) 37PTS
2nd:Bill Hammen (8) 36 (c/back)
3rd:Michael Gargan (13) 36
4th:Chris Morris (12) 35

Golf balls to John O’Reilly and Brian Lynch
We welcomed Sue Peters and Kim Deheer as new members and hope they will enjoy the Lefties fellowship.
Barnbougle
What a super weekend of golf played in excellent weather on both Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 June. The meals, accommodation and hospitality of the management was first class but unfortunately the golf played did not match everyone’s expectations standing on the first tee on the first day at Barnbougle Dunes. Both golf courses are very tough with demanding and accurate tee shots as any stray shot normally resulted in a lost ball. To make matters worse there were severe winds the weeks before and parts of both courses were covered in a thick layer of sand. The scores for both days reflected the very difficult and unique links style golf courses.
