Sadly, the last days of Autumn have come to an end, although not without some interesting days of Weather. Fog seems to have come thick and fast, not wanting to leave. Oh but what glorious days there were if it did.
One would start the day , covered head to toe, in layers of clothing, trying to keep warm. If we were fortunate enough, many such layers gone by the end of the round. Finding our ball, well that was also a bit of a conundrum. Hit, one said ball to find it disappeared into the fog. Quite an interesting exercise finding it. Always an interesting game, Golf.
Two of our annual competitions completed this month. Funny they also begin with M. The Margaret Samblebe Brooch. One round of stableford. The brooch donated in memory of Margaret by her family beginning 1996. If you are fortunate enough to win, you can only receive the brooch once but, will have your name recorded of the plaque for multiple wins.
This year only 4 players competed, the winner, having a great day, Di Elliott (29) 31 pts. Congratulations Di.
