PSC Golf from The Growling Swan
Monday, Nov. 2, Treasure Hill – Stableford
There were 18 eager golfers waiting to get out and have crack at the great course that was presented to us at Treasure Hill. It would be somewhat remiss not to mention the treatment that we have received from our hosts: they have maintained the pricing for not just The Growling Swan but other (PSC) golf societies for a good period of time, including going into High Season!

Thursday, Nov. 5, Crystal Bay – Stableford
Seventeen eager players gathered at The Growling Swan anticipating the challenge set out for them in today’s event. We were heading up the highway to play Crystal Bay, one of our favorite courses. Weather wise it looked as though we were in for a good day and pleasant conditions greeted us and stayed with us all through the round.
