Golf - Sunday 21st March 2010

The temperature on the coast reached 34 degrees today & we certainly felt it on the course having some 'heat distressed' players during the day. Thankfully we did have some moments of relief with the odd breeze coming along occasionally.

Our playing partners today were Steven & Annette Cross and we had a delightful day of golf with some good highlights including a birdie from Peter at the 15th. The best highlight being that the girls beat the boys for the keno ticket.

Another great highlight of the day was from CLYDE CRUICKSHANKS who scored a "HOLE-IN-ONE" at the 5th. CONGRATULATIONS CLYDE !

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