⛳️🚨 HOLE IN ONE ALERT 🚨⛳️

A bit late this one — the admin didn't get told on the day and we just had the trophy presentation 🤦‍♂️

Congrats Tim Ganderton on his ace on the 16th 🏌️‍♂️ First one in 40 years of golf 🎉

According to witnesses it was a shank, thin, just cleared the dam, hit the downslope and rolled straight in 🕳️

Also according to witnesses, Tim was about to launch his club into said dam 😤

Better to be lucky than good 🍀

Here's to the next one 🍻

RMCGC Girls love a challenge!

The new Yowani 18 Hole golf course provided just that yesterday at their Women’s Open Day.

Water 🐟 Rocks 🛘 Hills 🗻 and Sandy Valleys 🏝️.

⛳️The Best Prize for RMC was a NTP for Fiona Hanks 👏👏👏

🏌️‍♀️The rest of us had fun competing with players from around the district followed by a delicious lunch in the impressive new Club House. 🏰

Go girls! 🥳👏👏👏

Told you so! Don’t worry about your competition score - it’s the life score that counts! 🧠💕🩻✅

Regularly playing golf can reduce the risk of both dementia and coronary heart disease by up to 30%. This substantial benefit is primarily driven by the consistent cardiovascular exercise built into the game; especially if you walk an entire 18-hole course—which typically translates into walking several miles—you significantly increase your blood circulation, stimulate metabolic activity, and optimize the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your vital organs. The steady, moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity associated with golfing also helps lower systemic blood pressure, regulate cholesterol levels, and improve overall arterial flexibility. Because cardiovascular health is directly linked to brain health, the sustained blood flow generated on the course directly counters the vascular degradation that frequently leads to vascular dementia and adverse cardiac events.

In addition to protecting the heart, golf provides an immersive mental and social workout that actively preserves cognitive reserve. A round of golf requires continuous spatial awareness, complex physical coordination, and strategic calculations—such as measuring distances, factoring in wind, and visualizing precise ball trajectories. This combination of physical movement and deep problem-solving stimulates the brain’s neuroplasticity and strengthens neural connections. Furthermore, the inherently social nature of the sport prevents isolation, which is a major independent risk factor for cognitive decline. By merging moderate exercise with target-oriented cognitive tasks and community engagement, golf serves as a powerful lifestyle intervention that staves off structural brain deterioration and coronary blockages simultaneously.
