Golf - Sunday 22nd December 2013





It was a very hot day with just a little bit of breeze to save us.  It did not worry the good players as we had a lot of good scores coming in.

Our playing partners were Arthur Collien and Kay Frewin and we had some great highlights the best of which was bringing Kay in the Winner of the ladies singles.  The hot weather did not bother her.
