Winter League – Round 6 – declared Void 

Reporter – Peter Willson

The day started with a light drizzle which by the time 8.00 am arrived it had turned into steady light rain and increasing windy gusts.

3 groups / 10 brave souls started out in the rain but only got to the 4th, 3rd and 2nd holes before deciding it was too wet. Many other players arrived, most doing a circuit of the car park, before heading home for some warmth and drier conditions.

The round was declared null and void due to no players completing the minimum required 9 holes 

On a lighter note several of us retired to the clubhouse to seek shelter and a bit of heat. 

It was a pleasure to see Dave Meir armed with a bottle of Bushmills finest whiskey in honour of his “significant birthday” – we toasted his health and then we also retired defeated by rain as well. 

Perhaps next week we will get the chance to play Round 6 after 2 false starts. 

Still 3 rounds to go of the 8 Rounds available following the extension to the number of League games due to the atrocious weather in February

Happy Mondays

A remarkably Spring-like day after a chilly start with a slight frost. Blue skies, no wind and the course continues to dry out
