THE WARNER CLASSIC GOLF-SYDNEY

We had our first experience of flying out of the local Sunshine Coast Airport at Mudjimba; and what a pleasant and painless experience it was. A quick check in, good seats (cheap too) and an hour thirty minute flight to Sydney. JETSTAR were excellent. We were in Sydney to play in the annual WARNER GOLF CLASSIC at Avondale Golf Club, near Pymble.It was great to catch up with business friends from the TV industry and WARNER BROS turned on a wonderful event. Greg and his team do a great job and he is just the best of hosts. After a briefing it was out for 18 holes of stableford.


Chris Omara from Channel 7 and Wayne Broun, a former MD of Warner and now head of his own distribution business. Both keen and good golfers with Wayne being the early driving force behind the Warner Classic.



Carlie Broun, winner of the Ladies Longest Drive.




Pal Cleary, now retired former head of MCA tees off on a difficult par 5.




JT had a fantastic round of golf winning the over 18 handicap section and a new Taylormade Driver, whilst John had an enjoyable round interspersed with the brilliant and the really really bad. In the evening we attended the cocktail party which was a superbly organised Warner event.
JT back at Coolum with her new driver.



Sydney was spectacular and we enjoyed a very tasty meal at Neil Perry's ROCKPOOL plus some excellent retail therapy at David Jones. Arriving back at The Sunshine Coast for the first time from another Australian place was interesting; here really feels like home and it's good to be back.
