Too hot to handle!

 August Heat

The weather over the last weeks has been very dry and on occasion extremely hot.

The result is the course has dried out and has become like concrete in many places and the back 9 almost unplayable.

The day after the league match just a few ladies played and put in cards but we had no organised competition.

Amazing survivor on the 8th fairway!

The back 9 on Thursday was cancelled because of the conditions and the Trophy competitions have been delayed until the course is fairer to play on...at the moment it is a lottery.

An example...the Seniors competition on Tuesday of that week... on the 12th hole  ... out of 25 players 16 had NRs; the men had a similar problem with half of their players not scoring on that hole. 

Anyway... because of the postponement of the trophy comps we had a fun 11 hole individual stableford instead.

In third place with 22 points - on countback from Hilary  - was Sue S; in second was Liz with 25 and in first with 27 was myself!

Well done everyone!

We could do with some mizzle,  then drizzle and then a gentle rain...but we'd like them all at night please!
