President's Report & Results Half Moon Bay 24 May

Despite receiving about 160mm of rain since the weekend Half Moon Bay club was able to present us with a 9 hole course that was quite playable with only a few muddy patches that were easily avoided and did not interfere with play. Many of the bunkers were full of water and anyone landing in these got free relief, so there were no complaints there.

56 men and 4 women faced the starter which was a perfect number for a 9 hole course. Among those was our sponsor Scott Payne and our old friend Tom Stager has returned from down south.

The sponsor for today is COMPLETE HEALTH AND FITNESS SOLUTIONS of 8/149 English St Manunda and in the next few days we will have information on this blog about an open day and birthday celebrations for this over 50s gym.
