Only thirteen of us today which was a pity as the light shower at 11.00am soon passed over followed by dry breezy conditions.
New member Bob Finlinson powered his way to 38 points followed by Harry Wright with 33.
A reminder that our first competition of 2015 is a Texas Scramble on Tuesday 3rd March, less than a fortnight away.

Another warm and sunny afternoon with fifteen players.
Unfortunately the ground hasn't thawed sufficiently to return to the summer greens but that suited me as I managed to put together a winning 44 points. Joe Campbell came second with 41, having beaten Brian Taylor with a better back nine.

Tuesday 3rd February

The first good news - this blog has now passed 30,000 page views. Second good news - I managed to scramble a win on today's winter course with 46 points, one ahead of Tony Davis.
Wall to wall sunshine and quite pleasant after the frost got away. Sixteen played and everyone socialised in the lounge afterwards.
