A funny incident came from the Wednesday golf, maybe some will be able to relate to. Sue Petty drove her ball on the 13th into the drain and proceeded to hit out. Not sure entirely what happened, however after she hit the ball it took a left hand turn straight up the drain pipe never to be seen again. Brought her fellow players to their knees with laughter and let’s face it, we all have to laugh about our golf every now and again. Well done Sue (no photos though).
