Yesterday a few of our committee were invited to a morning tea as a thank you for our donation which allowed them to purchase four new Oncology chairs for the chemotherapy patients.  A big thank you to all our golfers who supported our a Pink and Charity Days which enables us to make these donations.

The day may have been dismal but charity was alive and kicking! Thank you to you all for getting into the spirit of our 'new look' Charity Day. The jams, pickles and lemon butters were great raising $265! The baking efforts were as usual fantastic raising $200 but the real success was the raffle due to the imaginative variety of baskets and all manner of goodies available to win. The raffle raised $675 and together with donations of $85 made the total raised to $1225. A wonderful effort! The first three prize winners were our delightful Helen from the office, Moya and Nell followed by almost everyone! Special thanks to Coco/Seashells who once again, through Margaret Thorpe, supported us with a prize voucher of $100! $500 of this will go to CCWGA chosen charity Coast Shelter. The remainder will be added to from other money raised through the 100 club and raffles and distributed to our choice of local charities later in the year.

Golf has been abandoned today 21/7.  So if you could please come at 10:30am for our trading table starting at 11:00am.   See you there.

Golf as usual today. Charity Day will happen at the conclusion of golf. goodies will be held back for those playing last in the field.  See you there!

 Weather reports at this stage could see golf cancelled on Thursday.  Charity Day will still go ahead. We request, if there is no golf, you arrive with your goodies for sale or raffle at 10 30. The Committee will need a little time to set up items for sale along with the Raffle so request that you go and have a coffee and as soon as possible the doors for the day will open. The format for this year will be slightly different with cakes, etc., jams and pickles, some golf paraphernalia and our Monster Raffle. Raffle tickets will cost 3 for $5 or 7 for $10. As previously mentioned each year we choose a local charity to support. Along with our chosen charity or charities we also support the charity chosen by the Central Coast Women's Golf Association. This year the District charity is Coast Shelter. See you all Thursday for a fun day..

It was nice to welcome Krista and Sharn to Breakers. We hope you enjoyed your first comp game with us. Bev Milson returned to the fold after illness and travel. Good to have you back Bev. A cool start followed by perfect playing conditions later in the morning saw 49 ladies join today's comp. The course was still a little damp with not as much run which kept the majority of the scores below 30. Janice Adlard (39!) and Judy Scown (36) in Division 1 played way over the rest of the field. Great game girls! Results were as follows: Division 1.  Winner.  Janice Adlard (16) with 39 points                      2nd.       Judy Scown (22) with 36 points Division 2.  Winner.  Annette McInnes (28) with 30 points on a count back from                      2nd.       Jan Hoban (32) also with 30 points Division 3.  Winner.  Aileen Davis (39) with 32 points                      2nd.       Gerda Mather (45) with 29 points Nearest to the Pins.    2/11th.                      4/13th.    

Breakers Country Club saw a sea of coloured team golf shirts as all the District Clubs came together to celebrate the 2016 Pennants series. All clubs in the district were represented with at least one team, with most having entered two teams into the inaugural year of the new format. President of the Central Coast Women's Golf Assn, Anne Glance, welcomed everyone on behalf of the district. After morning tea District Captain, Jenny Chapman, spoke about the new format and provided us with many statistics which put to bed most negatives voiced prior to the new format being introduced. Amazing Jenny and obviously the result of much work done over the course of the competition. Our congratulations must go to Shelly Beach who, narrowly, won both the Wattle and Banksia divisions! Gosford and Kooindah coming a very close second. Shelly Beach also won the Margin Shield which goes to the Club who wins both divisions. It proved to be a great Pennants season and our gratitude must go to

Fancy having to write a blog for a day like today but, you guessed it, 20 brave? Ladies took to the course in spite of the wind and rain.  The course, I am told, was playable with the sudden puddles requiring brief stops. Some of the more sensible ladies called it quits after 9 holes but the game did proceed with enough ladies playing to make it an official comp day. Results for these brave ladies are as follows: Winner.    Jan Hoban (32) with 79 nett;  2nd  was Aiki Harrigan (17) with 80 nett; 3rd.          Jan Portelli (33) with 82 nett and. 4th was Jenny Chapman (17) with 84 nett on a c/back Gross Winner across the field was Aiki Harrigan (17) with 97 gross Putting with the lowest no of putts went to Jan Portelli with 31 putts Nearest the Pin: Suzanne Connor was our only contender on the 2/11th News items .... Congratulations to Ronalda Arnott for winning the Divisiin 2 Knock Out last Monday against Charmaine Armbruster. Congratulations to our ever reliable Dee Barham for
