Golf - Sunday 12th January 2014

We had a great day for golf today.  The temperature got to 29 degrees but we had a nice cooling breeze which kept the heat at a bearable level.  Our playing partners were John & Julie Hazzard and we had a fun day on the village green.  We did have opportunities for highlights with birdies just slipping by.  The boys highlight was beating the girls for the Keno Ticket, but they did not get a 4 pointer and we did!!!!

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