Course Conditions:
It was good to get started on time on Saturday and especially on Sunday as we had a full time sheet to get through. While the scoring was on par with other weekends it was interesting to note the difference in the scoring for individual holes. The toughest hole on the course was the 17th, and this was followed by 10th, 8th 3rd and 18th. The easiest hole proved to be the 4th hole with rthe 6th next easiest and these were followed by 9th, 1st 2nd and 16th. A total of 40 birdies were recorded over the weekend with 6 of those on the 9th and 5 on the 12th.
