Today’s event was generously sponsored by Ron McCann. Many thanks Ron!

Great conditions saw many golfers produce their best. The best score of the day was posted by Les Newton (40 points) to just tip out the unlucky Nathan Lucas, a visitor from Welshpool (38 points) for the win in C Grade.

The return to a 9am shotgun start seemed to suit most players, many of whom spent  time catching up with fellow members before hitoff.

One of our country members, Patrick Mitchell was keen to impress some of his guests and fellow members from Eastern Golf  Club and did so by posting the best score of the day, an impressive 39 points. Well done Patrick! One of his guests, Mel Miles also had a good day by taking out a NTP and also a DLT ball.

Another great effort was posted by our regular visitor Kevin Harris who posted 37 points. As Kevin was playing off scratch it would probably equate to a sub-par round!
