A foggy start to the Winter course

Please remember with such conditions, the right fairway bunker on the 1st must be clearly visible before you can tee off. 

The fog was so thick that play was delayed until mid morning on Monday. Our winter course is now open - Men's' Tees are Green and Ladies' Tees are Blue, with preferred lies in operation.

On Friday the committee played their annual match against the Greenstaff, the match resulting in a 2-2 draw and as such the Greenstaff retained the trophy.
