Result: 1-4 Loss

The team comprised Sheena Harrington, Di Jackett, Maureen Slade, Julie Smith and Tracy Wright.

Spirits were not high going into this match as most of the team had not so fond memories of the course – which is a 9-hole one in the centre of the racecourse. We’d also been warned that since the new management had taken over it was not possible to book tee times so we would have to turn up and hope that the public weren’t out in force. Fortunately, despite the glorious weather, we had no delay in starting and only one other 2-ball slotted in between our games on the second nine.

Our one victor was Julie Smith with a tight tussle that went to the 17th, sadly the rest of us were not so fortunate. One good piece of news from our Treasurer’s perspective is that they very kindly gave us courtesy of the course, so there is no cheque to write Dave!

Despite beating us soundly our opponents were very friendly and we each enjoyed the games, followed by some shopping in the newly opened Discount Golf Shop – so something good came out of it after all!
