Today was one of the most popular golf events of our programme being the Final Round of the Mixed Team Series which has been held over a 3 month period. It is a keenly contested event with the 3rd round event being sponsored by "Harris & Adams Smash Repairs" Col and Kay Adams.
The weather was not kind to us with wild winds predominating the day but at least we did not have to contend with dust. Anyone with great scores today deserved their accolades as the wind hardly let up all day. As you can see by the results there were some good scores and highlights during the day. During the match a large tree came crashing down between the 7th and 13th fairways. We heard the noise and saw the dust fly up from several fairways away. Thankfully no one was underneath at the time. (photo attached)
We were one short in our team as Ian Mitchell was recovering from eye surgery so today Iris Talbot was our support crew and we did the best we could - but not good enough to catch the leaders who streaked home with daylight behind them.
