30 Members contested this course with a spectacular view off the 1st Tee !

The course was in pretty good condition, especially the greens, which everyone struggled to hit with their tee-shots on the Par-3 holes as only 5 players managed this task (one of them twice !), and only once from each grade (nobody managed this on the 10th hole, a long Par 3).

However some reasonable scores were achieved, with 14 players scoring in the 30’s (almost half the field) but only 2 players reaching or improving on their handicaps.

While it rained on most of us on the way to the course, the rain stopped as we all arrived and then the sun came out, so a great day for golf !
