An astonishing eagle on the final hole gave Bundaberg Golf Club a narrow victory in the final of the Volkswagen Scramble, held last week at Twin Waters.
The team from Yowani Country Club was crowned the women’s champions in what was actually the 2019/20 final, postponed from late last year because of COVID-19.

Moving toward a bigger hit of fruit flavor is Tiki Time, a seasonal release from 3 Sheeps Brewing, that smacks taste buds with passion fruit flavor.
Economy, finance, and budgets
Even as vaccination increases across the United States and an end to the tragedy of the Covid-19 pandemic seems in sight, the economic, fiscal, political, and geographic fallout from the virus cannot be overstated: a massive public health crisis that left more than half a million Americans dead, an economic catastrophe that caused record unemployment and small-business closures, and a seismic political event that surely helped tip the presidential election. The pandemic will pass, and the economy will revive, as it is already doing. But in geographic terms, today’s Covid-precipitated crises may well prove to be the most transformative event that America has experienced since the great migration to the suburbs after World War II. After hitting record lows, mobility is up as a result of the pandemic. Between 14 million and 23 million Americans say that they are likely to move as a result of their ability to work remotely, according to research by econom
