We had a rather weird day of weather - rain free thankfully, but started out very hot with a cooling wind that changed to gusty winds and quite cool towards the end of the day.
Our playing partners were Des & Yvonne Wilson and we had a very entertaining day with girls holding their own at the half way mark. Peter & Des played well with Des getting three birdies which were good highlights for the day and Yvonne & I scoring 26 points for our team event for the first nine holes. The boys won the Keno Ticket on the 16th which we were happy to give them because they both played well with some great shots to the green.
