Carole's Birthday and Glen Huitson Golf Day

The Birthday Girl and Les
Mother June's scones

"The Loose Ends" golf team
Day 153
Its Carole’s birthday today and June has made more scones for morning tea (I’ve decided to adopt June!!) and Lisa Huitson is coming to the CP to catch up. Not quite a birthday cake but most definitely better and we enjoy catching up with Lisa before we head to golf. We arrive at Darwin GC amidst about 200 policemen and supporters for this charity day in Glen’s honour and supporting Police Legacy in NT. We meet the 3 other guys we will play with, Dave, Craig and Rod who work in different areas of the force. It is a 5 person Ambrose and we have a great afternoon of golf with some great shots and some really awful ones but the company is good and we have a lot of fun. Each team is given a handicap by the roll of dice when we come in and with a clubhouse full of rowdy players (the effects of the free beer evident) it was difficult to hear results. We did win a XXXXGold straw hat each but not sure what for??? We left the revellers and went for dinner at the Trailer Boat Club overlooking the Bay (is there no where in Darwin that we haven’t been for a magnificent water sunset??) for Carole’s birthday.
