An excellent breakfast was enjoyed .

Chris playing off 6 handicap had a level par front 9 with 2 birdies then came home in 5 over to score an excellent 37 points in the conditions.
Skip John Milton scored 35 points to pip Jules Elliott and Tony Matless on countback for runners up spot.
A point further back was Brendan McCarney and new boy Neil Dade both scored 34 points .
Team 1 under Tony Matless’s leadership again took the team comp with a very good 77 points .

The pins were tricky but Mark Cushion (1st captains 2 too 😃) took 2 and Mick Landamore and “Rocket” Ronnie Perfect one each.

At the 18 th Martin Devlin got the prize with 2 x drivers into the wind (not best choice of hole 😂)
