Golf - Sunday 17th March 2013

We had a lovely sunny day for golf today - albeit somewhat windy - it was better than the predicted showers.

My playing partners were Phil Carter, Rosalie Dyer & Fred Middleton & we had a lovely day on the village green - the golf scores did not reflect our true potential where we were putting for birdies on many occasions.  Fred was our champion of the day with 39 points.
