Golf - Sunday 24th November 2013 - 2013 Nagger's Cup












We had a great day for the 2013 Naggers Cup - Blue sky and sunshine and a course devoid of puddles and mud which may have been expected after such a deluge of rain after the last few days.  The course drainage and greens and working a treat.  It was good to see so many players stay on for Presentation this year.

Our playing partners were Wally & Fay Bailey and we had a great day out on the village green (and green it was). We did have some highlights especially when Jan hit her sand wedge beautifully over the bunkers onto the green putting distance from the hole (just as she was instructed) and then got out of the bunker in one at the 9th.  It was a fun day enjoyed by all of our golfers even though some of them are threatening to play in the De Facto Division next year.

The Golf Event of the day was the 61ST NAGGER'S CUP 2013 - AMERICAN FOURSOMES - MIXED.
