We were very fortunate to have a fine day for the first round of the Mixed Team Series.

Our Mixed Team for this year is Col Matterson & Lauren Matterson and our opposition team is Arthur Collien, Kay Frewin and Warren Gray & Mary Bromwich.  Our playing partners today were Arthur & Kay and we had a good day on the village  green - pity about some of the golf but we did have some highlights.
I accidentally left my driver at home so I trialled one of the new "Ping" models from the Pro Shop which I was very impressed with. Maybe I should have trialled a putter as well.
