The early starters were greeted by a covering of frost and sub-zero temperatures – well, it is April after all!
Last weekend saw the reintroduction of the white and green tees to the course and with it the commencement of qualifying competitions. It has been a long, wet winter, but with the course now looking in fine shape following some stirling work by the greenkeeping staff, we are all looking forward to some favourable golfing weather.
A warm welcome to our newest recruit, Steve Hobbs, who has wasted no time in settling in, with prize money in Division One, and a healthy share in the Two’s pot! Results of a non-qualifying Stableford competition as follows:
Divison One: Alan Elkington, forty; Tony Thorpe, 37; Steve Hobbs, 37; Mike Bradbury, 37; Jeff Bruton, 36.
