Saturday January 30th – Monthly Medal, Stroke & Putts

With rain  predicted on Thursday to be followed by a very heavy downpour for most of Friday both greens and surrounds were cut on Thursday afternoon however only a few of the fairways were mown.  Over 50mm fell; there was water in the top dam, the bottom dam was almost full and a few fairways had casual water.  However, the recent drainage works did a great job moving a great deal of the water off Romsey Park.  Looking on the bright side, the couch would be loving this additional water but golfers were going it find it a little tougher than over the last few weeks.  Despite the softer fairways, with their longer grass and the odd spot of surface water a number of golfers were able to play to or better than their handicaps.  On a still, sunny afternoon the results were;
