The Annual Golf Day was held at Oakland Park Golf Club on Friday 11th September.
We had eight members playing, two being new members, Maggie
and Geraint Parry, which enabled us to make two teams for a Texas
Scramble.
The course was in excellent condition considering the damage
done by the long period of dry weather. The fairways were back to
being green and the greens themselves, having just been freshly
cut, were fast and true.
Both teams set off in the sunshine and had a very enjoyable time
using all their golfing skills and guile. Every hole was completed by
selecting the best of the four balls they played for every shot until
the ball was in the hole.
Considering the range of handicaps and ages in each team it was
impossible to predict the winners so when the result was
announced in the club house we were amazed to discover that both
teams had exactly the same score, four shots over the par for the
course!!
Well played everyone.
After the golf, seven more members joined the players for a two
course lunch of seared salmon with beurre blanc sauce follow by
apple tart and custard.
An enjoyable time was had by all.
