Tuesday 12th December

Twenty dedicated Sandpipers turned out in what seemed like the middle of the night to play the annual Christmas Competition as a Texas Scramble. Unfortunately the course was covered in thick frost so as we were on the short winter course it was decided to cut across from the eighth green to the fourteenth tee thereby reducing the risk of frostbite. Everyone received a prize and thanks were given to Brian Taylor for running the comp, John Wraight for selecting the prizes and Bruce Bedford for his quiz on the rules of golf. No team got all the answers right. The caterer provided an excellent meal which meant I was too full to be bothered to write this report up last night.
