Dave and co soar above field
Caps flew off heads and were retrieved by the fastest golfer in the fourball.
TIME just flies when you are having fun. As I draft this report those well-known words keep bouncing in my head.
It seems like yesterday that I nervously sent in my first report for the year and here I am completing the last one for the year.

Last Tuesday, as if to remind us that the flock must fly again next year a record field of 80 Eagles made the first and tenth tees at Umdoni Park Golf Club their early morning nesting place.
In winds that would frighten the hardiest of winged creatures the Eagles took flight.
Golf balls took to the air and did their own thing once up there.
Caps flew off heads and were retrieved by the fastest golfer in the fourball.
Fear not, the Eagle is a predator and is never put off the task set by nature. Especially when the reward is a party.
After the round of golf at Umdoni Golf Club members and their partners were invited to the year end dinner and prize giving held in the Umdoni Retirement Village Hall.
It is fitting that we say thank you to Bernadette Harrison and her crew for not only serving a meal fit for a crowned eagle but also for serving it in such an orderly and professional manner.
Thanks must also go to the members and their partners whose attendance made the evening such a success.
Thanks to our sponsors, Umdoni Golf Club and Restaurant, Food Lover’s, Pit Stop, Umdoni Driving Range, Spur, Selborne Restaurant, Claribell and Bell and Anchor.
Our year would not have been the same without them.
Winners on the day were Dave Geils, Ben Enslin, Alister Ferguson and Paul Barnett on an outstanding 99 points.
Best male golfer was Trevor Bell and best lady was Stella Scott.
Everything regarding the weather considered, the scores were good which is testament to a golf course in great condition.
From the Eagles we wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year.
May your purses bulge, your medical bills shrink and your smile be permanent.
