An unusual team game - Bingle, Bangle, Bungle - was on the program for Saturdays 9 hole event. Marj Stevens (13 pts) won in a close contest from Trish Sharrock and Kevin Adams (12 pts each), and Marj Higgins won the IGA voucher for nearest the pin on the 12th. Another team game - drop out Ambrose - was played on Tuesday. These team games are as much about the social aspect as the golf, and are enjoyed by everyone. It is particularly pleasing to see our newer members joining in. The winning team was Rosemary Ashby, Leonie Auhl and Dee Sansom (68.57 pts) from Connie Dimopoulos, Denise Billman and Bronwyn Gudgeon (76.16 pts). Leonie Auhl also took home the IGA voucher for nearest the pin on the 12th, which landed just a bit closer than Denise Billmans ball [email protected] T: Clubhouse (03) 5472 1682 W: www.castlemainegolf.com See more

Exception: Golf carts may be hired to a person who has a disability, or who is over the age of 65, or who can demonstrate that they require one due to having special needs.
