The weather today was colder than normal but did not reach the low temperatures that were forecast.

All the golfers dressed in appropriate winter clothing would not really have noticed the cold even when the wind spiked up a bit.

Our partners today were Duncan & Rosalie Dyer and we had a fun day out on the course.  It was still wet in places but not enough to stop some great scores coming in.  Duncan was our champion today scoring a lovely birdie on the 15th and the boys beat the girls for the keno ticket after being all square at the half way.

We had 79 starters.
