Canadian Greensomes
A modest 30 rolled up for a long awaited chance to play as we promised you a dry morning.
..OK, we did get a sharp shower about 12:30 as we were finishing, but the Morning itself was technically dry as Colin Ireland is still checking with the Stewards !
Mick was all alone with Buggy ban - I wonder if he caught up with Bernie who was also circulating on his own.

Good start to the day as Barry and Steve handed in the treasured Ball Marker lost by Tim Purrett which they found on the first hole.
It was a posh metal one and I believe Dave Mugridge will hand to Tim when they play Tuesday.
On another pleasant note, Kevin the Head-Chef is offering to put on a modest Seniors Dinner on Tuesday 17th March - which is of course St Patrick's Day.
Sort of Irish Stew ; Main Course; Bailey's Ice Cream and Guinness for £3.00 a Pint - plus I'm sure we will be able to drag up a glass or two of Whiskey.
Open to everyone - just need someone to organise - Kevin & Ryan ( Bar manager) - will give us a sample menu - I'm sure we can make it a bit of fun with of course the ever popular Irish Bingo and maybe a Quiz etc.
Roll-Up
The early starters would like to say sorry to the late starters, who had to endure some heavy showers, but that's the luck of the draw. Generally the weather held off for most of the morning. There were 6 temps and the bunkers were GUR, but that excepted, the course was in good condition given the previous days rain.
The Canadian Greensomes format saw 15 pairs compete. With the format being each player playing the first two shots, then alternate shots. For you rules buffs and those who were
querying what happens with penalty drops and out of bounds, it is simplified by
remembering that each player must play the first two shots. So Provisionals are fine and if a penalty
drop is required, the next shot must be played by the same player.
