Golf - Sunday 6th May 2012

What a picture perfect day for golf today - blue sky and sunshine, the course in great condition - what more can we ask for?

Our playing partners were Duncan & Rosie Dyer who were great company and they held me together for the 18 holes enabling me to get a good score in spite of being ill with a chest infection.  We did have some good highlights, however we were all square with the boys for the keno ticket facing the 18th hole and Duncan Dyer sank a 30 foot putt to win the hole which did not impress us girls much.

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