A sunny, but breezy afternoon welcomed members back to the green on Saturday, 16th April.
The green was, not unexpectedly, heavy after quite a wet winter, but everyone remarked on its good condition; this was due to a great deal of hard work by our Greenkeeper, Rob Watts, ably assisted by our Chairman, Barrie Dando and many club members. One of our members, Malcolm Moon, is a keen gardener and is busy bringing on the plants for the hanging baskets which are much admired each year.
Sunday, 17th April was President’s Day, and members were put into five teams to play the annual President versus Captain match. The results from each team were added together and, in what turned out to be a very close match, the Captain’s Team won 64 shots to 62. The first matches of the season were played this week when the Ladies were at home to Holt in a friendly on Tuesday afternoon and a mixed game took place at home to Severn Vale on Wednesday afternoon; the results for these matches will be published next week.
