Golf - Sunday 23rd May 2021

 

With my playing partners at the 12th tee

Kevin O’Brien, Rosalie Dyer and Duncan Dyer.

Geraldine Turner, Fran James, Owen James and Steve Turner

At the 12th Tee.

We had a bit of a cold change to our weather today - we are not acustomised to cold weather as yet - we know winter is well on its way so we did appreciate the sunshine when it did appear. We were lucky enough to be safely inside the clubhouse before the heavier showers set in. 

My playing partners today were Kevin O’Brien, Duncan Dyer and Rosalie Dyer (Peter is still resting his back injury). We had a good day on the Village Green thankfully finishing before the heavier showers hit. We did have some good highlights from all of us with some good 3 pointers, The girls beat the boys for the Keno ticket which was definitely a highlight for the girls, and Jan scored more than 30 points which has broken a long standing record and winning a ball.
