Wednesday 16th January
4-Ball Medalford
Funny old day today, less people turned up to play, probably
having seen the weather forecast, but three
teams of four braved the early rain and set off into the gloom.
When the five teams scheduled to play from 9am looked out of the changing rooms
the heavens opened and two teams abandoned and returned to the bar. A
group of earlies were soaked and walked in but the other two stalwart
bedraggled teams soldiered on. At that precise point the rain stopped, at times
the sun shone through and all the way to the eighteenth conditions were very
pleasant. So, we had a competition and the scoring was very acceptable with the
winning score of nett 23 worthy of winning on any day. Not surprisingly however
the two early groups that had the worst conditions did not do so well. Plenty
of birdies were registered and paid the sum of 30p each.
Full results and prize money are listed below.

Burn's Lunch Friday 25th Jan.
Numbers for the lunch this year are down on last year possibly
because the meal then was only average. This year with our Head Chef Andy
sourcing quality haggis directly from across the border (putting the order in
next Monday) the offering will be first class. Therefore, please support this
function if you can, fun will be had by all!
