GOLD COASTERS
Our little group went on another day trip on Wed 26th to the Japanese Gardens in Tramore in beautiful sunny conditions. On arrival we had our coffee and cake followed by a tour of the magnificent gardens.
The gardens are a must see with stunning horticultural projects amongst Japanese structures, waterfalls and ponds. The history of the gardens is phenomenal with connections between Tramore and Japan.
After our tour, we sojourned to a nearby hotel for a delicious lunch on the terrace in glorious sunshine. It was a beautiful day out and many thanks to Anne for organising yet another fabulous event. Many thanks to Deirdre who surpassed herself again with some stunning photographic memoirs of the day.
On Thursday, we had our usual competition playing 9 holes in fine but somewhat strong blustery conditions. We had a nice turnout and Deirdre took on the running of the event in Anne’s absence. Despite the wind we had some very healthy score returns and it was enjoyed by all.
