Golf - Sunday 24th August 2014 - 2nd Round of the Mixed Team Series


















We had great weather for golf today - not a hint of rain and some nice warm sunshine.  The course underfoot was very wet with many puddles waiting to trap unsuspecting golf balls and overall the course was very soft. Given past years history it was a credit to the staff that the course was still playable after all the recent rain.

Our playing partners today were John & Julie Hazzard and they were great company.  We did have some good three pointers and other highlights  - the best of which was Peter's birdie on the 14th where a Hole in One was not out of the question when the ball was rolling to the hole and finished up just behind.

The Golf Event of the day was Round 2 of the 30th Annual Mixed Team Series proudly sponsored by "SRIXON"  - 3 scores to count + Single Stableford.
