THE GOLF BAGS
The Golf Bags is a lesbian group that plays 9 holes of golf every Saturday morning at different Metro courses north and south of the river with the odd out-of-towner/overnighter/afternooner thrown in. Golfing talents vary quite markedly, but they operate a handicapping system to level the playing field and have prizes every week for longest drive and nearest the pin as well as a handicap winner. There is no joining fee, just a standard $18 to play. If you are a lesbian and golf is your bag, they are always looking for new members. Contact Peta or Anne: 9443 2005, mobile 0438 181 205, email petanna@westnet.com.au
