The inclement weather on Thursday, June 2 reduced the number of golfers for the 12 holes social handicap comp. As it turned out, the afternoon wasn't too unpleasant after all.

Andrew Yeo had 25 points to be the best of the 11 golfers who played. Peter Ryan was closest to the pin on the first hole. Balls went to Peter Ryan, Kim Rawlings, Alan Cairney and Ben Turner.

The weather hadn't improved much by the time Saturday came around.

However, we had a reasonably good field of 33 playing a stroke round for the monthly medal.

Most of the participants struggled in very brisk conditions. Playing the fourth and fifth holes along the water was a real challenge. The wind chill factor was enough to make our golfers want to get through these two holes as quickly as possible.
