There might have been a few with a weather eye on the forecast. It was pretty accurate with scattered showers through to 10.30am, some of them quite heavy but we survived. There was a bit of fine tining on the greens, which are still in excellent condition and the course also played well, albeit a tad slower after the overnight rain. There were three prizes on offer overall and it was tight for third prize with two cards on 39 points and three on 40 points: Pairs Betterball Result: First: Barry Evans and Dave Palferman 44 points Second: Dave Jones and Bob Brown 42 points Third: Russ Adamson and Nigel Davies 40 points (c/b) All participating members entered the ball sweep and there were three x twos: Andy Mitchell (2nd) Dave Palferman (5th and 12th)
