Golf - Sunday 21st August 2011





The bad weather continuous to bite with more early morning showers putting off a lot of our golfers.  The Course was very wet but not unplayable as today's scores would indicate and our golfers stayed dry.  The Bunkers were out of play and there were no carts allowed as the wet weather has taken it's toll.  We are looking forward to two weeks of beautiful fine weather to get us back into sync. (whenever that may happen to be).  Our greens are in great condition - full credit to our greens staff and the fairways are coping extraordinarily well given the amount of rainfall that we have endured.  September is looking good.


The Golf Event of the day was a 2 Ball Team + Single Stableford Mixed Men and Ladies.

We had 31 starters with one visitor from Mangrove Mountain.
