Well Storm Alex proved somewhat of a challenge, although much more of a battle of the elements for the afternoon groups. They had sunshine, amazingly gusty winds, pelting rain and even hail! There was also a clap of thunder which must have been a cause for concern!
The morning groups were luckier with the conditions, particularly the 9.30am group who all appeared at the top of the leaderboard! Congratulations to runner-up Sarah L who had a nett 72 and Anne who scored a stonking two under par 70. Well done! I’m sure you were using your mantra, Anne, ‘Swing easy when it’s breezy!’
There was some chat in the morning of birdies, particularly on the front 9! Some claimed to have lost balls in the gorse and my playing partner did mutter, ‘it’s never a good sign to have a par at the first hole!’ How right she was!
Carol persuaded her playing partners, Fiona and Coleen, to move their tee time to the afternoon! She brought wedding cake for them from her son’s wedding, as a thank you and as they were walking down the 11th, soaking with rain dripping off them, Fiona piped up, ‘the things we’ll do for a piece of cake!’
Hopefully our next competition will be in drier conditions!
