The long grass and quick greens have taken their toll on the players but the rain will not stay away long enough for the guys to get out and work on the course. In this region it is either a feast or famine.

The veterans only had three players for their 12- hole stableford on Wednesday December 14, so it was decided to put in $2 each and play nine holes for a whole $6. Ron Hogan took home the big winnings and didn’t even shout ( it would have cost him more than he won.)

Sally Williams won Friday’s chook run with 25 points from eight other players. Chooks down the line went to Alan Huskinson and Ron Hogan.

Saturday’s game had to be cancelled because of the rain on Friday.

This is the last report for 2011 as the Ridge News has a well-earned break over the festive season. Wishing all golfers and readers of this report a very merry Christmas and hoping that 2012 is a healthy, happy and prosperous year for us all. To those people who are travelling over the silly season, please take care, especially those driving, as there are some dreadful drivers out there, and come home safely.

Hit-off times for the next four weeks are as follows:

Friday chook run. Hit-off 8.30am to 4pm.

Saturday. Hit-off 9am.

Sunday. Hit-off 9am.

Wednesday’s medley veterans’ 12-hole stableford. Hit-off 8.30am.

Thank you for reading this report, take and look after each other.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
