Wednesday February 7th – 2018 Flatstick Roofing Summer Cup Rd 1B – Par

With the day’s temperature expected to hit 36C the club offered an early hit-off time, 8.30 am; a number of players took that option while many others headed out at the usual time of 9.30 am.  What a difference a week makes, last Wednesday cold and blustery, this week hot with a gentle breeze.  In fact the weather was almost perfect for golf; some relief from the hot sun with the cooling breeze.  There was plenty of summer run but pleasingly there is still a nice covering of (dry) grass on most fairways.   The greens were very slick having been recently mown and apart from some bird damage were in good condition.  On a hot, reasonably still morning all players enjoyed the challenge of a Par event and recorded the following results.

Winner –  Darlene Baker (19) Square from  Beryl Cole (26) -1 & Pam Drummond (36) -2

Men’s Winner – Bruce Robb (32) + from John Freestone (22) -4
