Golf - Sunday 2nd April 2017

Winners of the Texas 4 Ball Team Stableford

with President Paul Scholberg

Rosie Dyer, Duncan Dyer and Peter Martin

at the 8th hole waiting for the showers to pass

We had a mixed bag of weather to contend with today with passing showers for most of the day. Our playing partners were Duncan and Rosie Dyer and we had mixed feeling about braving the weather. We bent to pressure and went out to face the elements and found the course wet in places but overall well drained considering the amount of rain that has fallen in the last week. We did have some highlights, one of which was finishing in a reasonable state - not dripping wet as we thought we would be.  There were some good scores that come in today so some of us found it not too hard or bad.  The village green is very green at the moment and will improve a lot with the recent maintenance to the greens.

The Golf Event of the day was a Texas 4 Ball Team Stableford.

We had 36 starters.
