Last Sunday Marysville played host to a couple of true sporting legends in Greg and Chris Evert Norman.
They were flown to the golf club via Lindsay Fox’s helicopter and spent an hour being chauffered around the town in a bus. They mingled with locals and showed genuine interest in the redevelopment of the township. With my love of golf and Lianne’s of tennis, we both managed to get a photo or two with our childhood idols.

Lianne made the nightly news giving Greg a kiss and now she says there’s another Greg in her life! Such a wonderful couple and to give up their first anniversary together in order to be with the people of Marysville says it all really.
The afternoon was spent at the Heritage Golf and country club where the Marysville and Triangle community were invited guests at a luncheon in a large marquee. Who should come out on stage for 3 songs but Simon and Garfunkel. Unbelievable! We had some fun with Hamish and Andy and enjoyed listening to Kate Ceberano and James Morrison. Also in attendance were Megan Gale, Wayne Arthurs, ‘Dipper’, John Brumby and others.

A huge thank you for their ongoing support for the Marysville and Triangle region must also go to Andrew Forest, Mick Best and the Fox family including Andrew and Fi. All were just so genuine and nice and a simple thank you doesn’t seem adequate.
What an amazing day and one that truly lifted the spirits of the people from Marysville and the triangle.

Hey guys, great to see you up and running and thanks for a fantastic weekend. The gear we hired was perfect, great condition and fit. It was hard to keep the kids off the toboggans. We kept dry and warm and it was so convenient to just drop it off on the way past and not have to take wet gear all the way back to a shop in Melbourne.
Here’s looking forward to a bumper season.
