Seniors Open at Rhuddlan Golf Club July 21st 2016


A large number of Clays Seniors enjoyed this very popular open event at Rhuddlan. The weather was great with temperatures between 22C and 23C. Below are some photos taken on the day by Derek Lyon.

I know we all have bad shots and poor Nigel had one as below in what otherwise was an excellent round.
