We all arrived in plenty of time, even those who went for a look around town first. The course was in fine condition and 

the greens were immaculate. The trees got in to the act, but you could easily play out. A couple of fairways were undulating, (life on the ocean wave type). Catering was spot on and the cost of the day discounted.

Top man was Roger Davey 46 points, and top woman was Patsy Deeping 40 points . NTP Roger Davey & lost balls

could'nt match our 19th hole. Hotel prices for drinks, and a down payment on a buggy secured the use of (£40). The rough was barking ( rough, rough).
