Proving yet again that for many, more choice is not necessarily better, the annual 3 clubs and a putter competition produced some pretty tight scoring.

A patchy grass frost and a distinctly autumnal nip in the air greeted competitors. After a few holes however, the last vestiges of summer sun appeared and top layers of clothing were shed.
