Hole in one
Not only did the opening event get off to a good start on the 28th March but that afternoon playing in a friendly 3 ball game new Club member Michael Cushine scored a hole in 1 on the 3rd. Michael, who is a 4 handicap player, aced out with a PW playing alongside Rory Fraser and Grant Keir. Way to go Michael! First hole in one of the new season :)
Another eagle
Congratulations to Audrey Reid who got her season off to a great start with a two at the second hole during Sunday's Ladies Competition.
She holed an 8-iron from the fairway and the hole was on the top plateau of the 2nd green, a great shot indeed. Well done Audrey!
