She involved the ladies through various moves and exercises to slip us into a pre golf routine. She explained why it is key to movement in our swing routine. Louise Luke, Cassy Grant and Sue Waddell volunteered to help Carla demonstrate to us some limbering up exercises and I actually saw two of the ladies doing the moves waiting on the first tee the following day!

What a treat this was today. Eleven ladies had a lot of fun, lots of imagination and some very presentable necklaces and bracelets produced. There were so many different types of beads and beautiful colours. It was difficult to make a choice. Linda Normand was so helpful and patient. Thank you Kathy Cameron for suggesting her and thanks to Linda for a super morning.
