We had a great day for golf today for our most popular Mixed Team Series - blue skies and sunshine and in fact it got quite hot out on the course at mid-day.   The course had dried out dramatically from last Thursday but still is heavy in places where we have low lying water.  Carts were allowed today and there was preferred lies throughout the green.

Our Team Members were Mark Stimpson, Michelle McGrath, Peter & Jan Martin and we did not have a bad score thanks to the efforts of Mark, Peter & Michelle and we are only 6 points behind the leaders so watch out for us in the second series when I have found my purple patch which I hope arrives before the Ladies Championship starts on the 9th August.  Our playing partners today were Col & Kay Adams & we had a lovely day on the village green.  This event is very popular with our Members and well supported.

The Golf Event of the day was the 27TH ANNUAL MIXED TEAM SERIES - Round 1 which was proudly SPONSORED BY SCHWEPPES.

We had 111 starters including 29 players in the daily event.
