Golf - Tuesday 2nd August 2011 - L'Oreal Day

L'Oreal Day is one of our keenly contested days and very popular with our members as our 83 starters indicated.   We had a magic day of warm sunshine and blue sky which was very welcome as the course is still trying to dry out.

It was heavy going at at times on the course but a very enjoyable day in perfect weather.  My playing partners today were Kath Payn and Pam Cowin (no photo today because I forgot to take it).  We had a lot of laughter and even some good highlights during the match which made it a very pleasant day and pity about the golf scores.

The Golf Event of the day was a Ladies Single Stableford and was sponsored by L'OREAL from PHILLIPS PHARMACY.  Christine from Phillips Pharmacy attended our Presentation as a representative of L'Oreal, Phillips Pharmacy who are making available a 20% discount for our Members on L'Oreal Products for the next couple of months.  Please enquire with Christine at Phillips Pharmacy if you would like to take advantage of this offer.

We had 83 starters which we would like to see there every week now that the weather has improved.
