Happy ducks in the 3rd dam in the pouring rain today

Our playing partners today were Warren Gray and Mary Bromwich who were great company which we needed when playing through the pouring rain at the 2nd and 3rd holes.  It was tough going for a while until the weather cleared for the last 9 holes.  The boys trounced us for the Keno Ticket with Warren playing a good steady game for the 1st 9 holes and Peter picking up the slack in the 2nd 9. Mary and I were slow starters but were improved players by the second nine.

Golf - Saturday 21st February 2015

The weather held okay today with just some light showers in the early morning.  The golf went ahead with no delays and the Garden Wedding was late afternoon after the weather cleared. Yesterday's Garden Wedding also went ahead on schedule with just some very light rain which was not heavy enough to stop the celebration.  The Clubhouse has been very busy this weekend with three weddings, birthday parties etc keeping all our reception rooms busy and also a marque used downstairs for this afternoon's Wedding. We are expecting 100 vet players on Monday so it is great to see the Golf Club so busy.
