Golf - Sunday 29th May 2011 - CCDGA MIXED FOURSOMES CHAMPIONSHIPS




















The Golf Event of the Day was the CCDGA MIXED FOURSOMES CHAMPIONSHIP.

We had some adverse weather in the middle of the day and for the play off for the 18 holes scratch where it rained just enough to make the wet weather gear to come out.  For the most of it we had cloudy and cool which was not too bad.  The course fairways were very wet underfoot from overnight rain but the greens were in good condition.

Our playing partners today were Richard & Leonie Casey and Steve & Gillian Mitchell (Morisset) and we had a very pleasant day on the village green in spite of it being the dreaded Mixed Foursomes Championships.  We were all still on speaking and friendly terms at the end of the day which indicates that we did not have a bad day and our partners were great company.  My highlight was winning a ball.
