Port Macquarie 2000

Port Macquarie November 2000 Image Gallery

A collection of images from the Lizards Port Macquarie trip in November 2000.

The Nifty plate was again a hotly contested affair, with Michael Morgan emerging victorious with the 39 points he extracted from the challenging Emerald Downs course.

The course has had quite a few improvements since we last visited. The fairways and greens are much improved, the dam on the 5th hole par five has been removed, and there is a new (non-licenced) clubhouse. Nifty reports that work could well start on the back nine holes in the near future.

Michael Morgan successfully negotiates another bunker.

Waiting for a chip-on on the 4th green.

Accurate putting sees Hartmut Schwarz first off the green again.

Stretch tidies up after playing his 3rd shot from the bunker on the 9th.

John O'Meara looks on in awe as Garry Bird sinks another one.

Stretch misses this shot (his fourth) but taps in for 5 a 1.

Michael Harrison loses his clubs after Jim Small's motorised buggy develops a mind of it's own and takes off without him.
