October 2017 Road Trip Results

Well done to Bronte and all responsible for arranging the 2017 road trip to Kingston SE.  

The best and most consistent golf for the weekend was clearly played by George Cleland, now the deserved holder of back-to-back Vinnies.   A special mention for his eagle 3 on the par 5 second at Lake Albert.  Ross had the chance to challenge on the final day, but was brought undone by a Kingston curry which required a very anxious drive back to Adelaide.   

Off-field highlights:
-     EET gatherings on the first two nights cleared the caravan park of other visitors, with MVP awards to Ken James and Steve White
-    The AGM on Saturday night set a new standard...    Helen becomes our new Vice Captain as what's-his-name wanted to spend more time with his family
-    Once again, there was good and not-so-good news for our horse racing syndicate.
