It was quite cool until the cloud cover allowed the sun to warm things up and then perfect conditions prevailed.
The field today was 69 (54 men and 15 ladies), many playing the Course for the first time or not in recent times. One former member rejoined.

Under new management, the Fairways are showing signs of improvements, helped by the better grass coverage following this year’s rain. The Greens had their usual challenge and the slopes on them will be understood far better at our next game here in September.

The boiling urn was well used to warm up on arrival and the Hamburgers and Sandwiches prepared by some Club volunteers were very much appreciated.

Dorothy Pearson easily won the Ladies event, and , with 40 points Neville Farrell held off Des Davies and Glen Kelly to win Division 2. Allan Swift took Division 1 in a three-way count-back. A bigger pay out on the Approach shot on hole 8 with two in the hole. A couple of mislaid wedges were united with their owners today.
