Wednesday Competition

30/01/14:  North Adelaide

Yet another perfect autumn day for golf.  The course is recovering from the recent school holiday damage and the greens are significantly quicker than normal.

Only 3 starters, with Damien crook and Peter AWOL.    Unfortunately, my dog ate the scorecard yet again and I have absolutely no memory of the first few holes.   I can recall that:

Kevin won everything - front, back and overall.
Kevin's 20 point back nine was OK (pipping Greg's 19 points).  Not much else was !!

Next week:   
-    Normal tee time of 11.30 am.
-    Mr Burrett may give us regulars a lesson
