Thanks to an email David Norman copied me into inviting Jaki, Dave, Lochlan and Zoe to rejoin Strathmore we had the pleasure to met up with them all at Nelsons Bay Golf Club. We only realised we would be visiting Port Stephen, where they now live, when they replied to the email. Zoe was attending junior coaching accompanied by Dave so Lochlan and Jaki took us out to play on the course and Zoe and Dave met us on the 16th tee to walk the last few holes. As you can see from the photos we were also accompanied by numerous Kangaroos who live on the course. After golf we followed the Australian way of life by visiting Birubi Beach and seeing the outstanding sand dunes followed by an amazing BBQ cooked by Jaki, including Kangaroo sausages and enjoyed the rest of the evening having a few beers and a lot of laughs. Golf plays a huge part in their lives and their regular weekend activity is to play as a family in the Mixed Competitions at the club. They thanked Dawn and I for encouraging both kids to develop their games and will be forever appreciative of that. Our family fun days at Strathmore has definitely been a great influence and it’s great that the whole family can all compete and play together in their clubs competitions. What a fantastic day.
