21st August 2014 Ravenshoe

Last night wasn't quite as cold as the night before but we still had a fire and went in early.
The day was very mild so we went down to the golf club for a look and a game, when we got there the carpark was overflowing with cars and even a bus, we thought this might be the wrong day for a game, but then we noticed that nobody was on the course so we went around the  back for a look.
We started talking to the guy who worked there, he said it was $10 for 9 holes and that nobody else was playing, they were all being entertained as it was seniors week and the government was paying for a luncheon.
We went out to play, we were only on  the second tee when the manager and the other worker, who had  been watching us, came out to us and gave me a new $60 chipper club, they noticed I was a lefty and decided they wanted to give me the club, they took a photo of us both and got my email address to send it to.
It was a great game, a lovely course,  when we were on the 9th hole the guys came back out and told us to make sure when we put our gear away and took our hats off to come into the clubhouse for lunch.
We went in there was heaps of sandwiches, anything we wanted to drink, all the people were so friendly and nice, real country people, they want us to go back on Sunday to have a game with them.
Fire again tonight, it is cool but everthing is so green.
