On the first Sunday in January, a very cold frosty day, five intrepid ladies turned out to play a four ball better ball off full handicap.

Sheena and Susan ended the game with 39 stableford points. Cheryl and Doreen dove tailed their game and came in with 41 stableford points to win the day, Close on their heels were Alison and Susan coming in with 40 points. Results…

Men

A hard frost set the scene for play for the day. Scoring overall was good with CSS down one from SSS 68. At first five 67s seemed to have been returned, but close scrutiny of Sean Dalton’s card revealed a marker’s casting error on the back 9 in Sean’s favour. Sean was therefore the winner with 66 from Ron Linden, Paul Doran, Gurpal Sekhon and John Morris with count backs applying for the latter. Results…

Members toasted the New Year with some shivering more than others.
