Golf - Sunday 13th March 2011
















Considering that we are a long way into March it was an exceptionally hot day out on the course & there was very little relief from any breeze. Our playing partners were Robbie & Robin Brann & we had a top day on the village green. We had plenty of highlights between us all & we all combined very well. Robbie Brann did some outstanding shots to the green, Robin backed up with some great drives and fairway shots and we managed to get four birdies during the day. We we were excited to come in runners up in the Ambrose which made our day.
Prior to going to golf today we had some quality time with our grandson Joel & took him to the railway to see the trains which earned us a lot of points. (Photo attached)
