The golfing gods were smiling upon us last night. Don't know about you but after spending all morning looking at the weather when the rain clouds were opening and sending bucket loads down from above the thought of playing golf was far from appealing. However, what a lovely night it turned out to be. The only rain present was when other playing members mentioned it and yes it never materialised. What a difference the recent rain has made to the course though, green fairways and full growth on the greens made for a more receptive course but obviously longer one. John White was the main man tonight with his 41 points. "Come on chairman, surely this man needs severe cutting” this is the second time John has come in with a big score. How on earth do the rest of us have a chance? Below John there were several players with good scores all looking for that second spot on 37 and there needed to be a lot of card sorting and checking of back nine and back six to work out the eventual places for the runner up spots. At the other end of the scale we had a crispy first with a lowest score of 1 point. I have been informed that this was only after five holes and so it's not quite as bad as it might seem. I think the age old golfing problem of getting slightly frustrated with ones game may have been to blame for the early departure. Better luck next time David.
