Our team played against Shelly Beach at Magenta Shores on Monday and were defeated 6.5 to 1.5.  Glenn Bainbridge won 4&3 and Phil Lucas did really well to square his match. After a game that went back and forward all day Rod Michelsen lost on the 18th, however Dieter Hajduk, Rick Petrie and Mike Hogan came up against some hot opposition and went down. A special Thank You to Jeff Shadbolt who filled in at short notice and looked stunning in his new Breakers vest. Although Jeff was defeated, he did his best for Breakers Glenn Bainbridge

Hi Everyone,  With the weather we have had over the last week, the course has dried out exceptionally well and from Saturday we are looking to revert back to some full holes.  Please keep in mind that this is still dependant on weather and can be brought back to the current par 3 if it gets too wet again.  But from tomorrow we are looking at:   1st hole – open back up to full hole  2nd hole – full hole as normal  3rd hole – still remaining shortened, however increasing yardage by approx. 40 metres  4th hole – full hole as normal  5th hole – still remaining short, no change to this hole  6th hole – full hole, reds off the front  7th hole – full hole but off front tee  8th hole – still remaining shortened  9th hole – full hole off front tee. In front of tee will be marked GUR  I think Members will be happy with this configuration, as always, feel free to provide feedback.  Hope everyone has a great weekend.  Regards,  Matthew Farrugia  Venue Manager
