SPRING LEAGUE
The league is now in the fourth round with some fabulous scores returned after round 3. While the weather is very changeable with every consecutive day wet and dry it’s not conducive for getting the games in!! However, hopefully the rain will clear over the coming weeks to get us back on the fairways again!!
Wishing all teams the very best of luck and hoping for some settled weather in the coming weeks, congrats and well done to the winners so far, enjoy!!
