By Rod Hutchinson The teams headed up to Magenta to take on Wyong and despite a week of heavy rain, the course presented in amazing condition. The greens were fast and true, fairways had bounce and run with no puddles to be seen. In fact, the only rain all day was a brief 15min downpour just prior to tee off. Peter Crowder in a tough place, despite 2 solid shots. Magenta's little fairway bumps, nooks and crannies can be brutal.  C Grade - All Square - 1 1/2 to 1 1/2  Chris Mott + Gary Evans. WON 4&2. The most formidable pairing since Han and Chewy, they boys got the job done once again. Chris worked his way around the course beautifully early to help build a lead, then Gaz stepped up to the plate when his partner decided to have a breather. Jeff said they just work so well together, holding onto the lead once got it to close out a well deserved win. Adam Quayle + Colin Coote. All SQUARE . More comebacks than Johnny Farnham this match, fighting  from 2 down three times in the da

It's that time of year when Wayne and his amazing team will soon core the greens and tee off areas. So only some very short term pain for golfers, unless you're Dean Osborne who grew up putting on the sandy greens around Dubbo and can't wait!

PENNANTS WEEK 5 UPDATE - 13/2/22 By Rod Hutchinson The Breakers train is full steam ahead with another dominant performance at  Everglades GC. Both B & C grades won all 6 matches to take full points against Magenta Shores, each now moving towards the top end of their ladders. All games were played in great spirits under the leadership of Club Captain Crowder, once again a great supporter in the manager role. With a BYE for Breakers next week, we then start the run home with matches against Wyong (at Magenta), Toukley (at Shelley), then close off the season against Shelley (at Everglades). Both Grades are in contention so it's going to be an exciting finish to the season no doubt!   B GRADE – 3-0 WINNERS   Rod Hutchinson & Paul English WON 6 & 5 . Paul caught fire over the first few holes, before Hutch decided to join in on the fun. Putting was the highlight on the day, including a 15 footer from Paul on the par 5 2 nd for birdie, then Hutch drained a long one
