As predicted we had blue sky and sunshine for the 69th Naggers Cup and the course was in remarkable condition considering the amount of rain that has fallen in the last few days. The bunkers were out of play (which did not upset a lot of people), the greens were in great condition and the fairways were not nearly as wet as I would have imagined them to be. Carts were allowed and it was hard to believe that we were on the same course as, say 10 years ago, that would have been closed for a week in this type of weather.
Full credit to our greens staff who are doing a fantastic job with the drainage systems and grassing of the course.
Our playing partners today were Warren Gray and Mary Bromwich and we had a great time as naggees and naggers out of the village green. We did have some highlights and a lot of nagging which was well deserved ( I am sure Mary would agree).
The Golf Event of the day was the 69TH NAGGERS CUP 2011, American Foursomes for mixed pairs.
This is a much looked forward to event of the golf calender and was well supported by the Members.
We had 120 starters.
