Hello and welcome to my final newsletter of 2015.
Yesterday saw the Slade December meeting and as usual there was never a dull moment. The conditions were good, the course is holding up well despite all of the wet weather and the scoring was generally good.
I was on the school run so had to go off early which meant playing middle man. I had the pleasure of partnering Keith Fletcher and Martin Ward. It made a change to play with Martin and not have to hand over money at the end as he cunningly uses his two shots on holes. We scored a modest 36 and 38 points respectively, absolute mid table obscurity.
Top of the pile were three teams tied on 42 points. The winning pair with a better back nine were Stephen Griffiths and Mike Price. Beers on them!
Propping up the other end and winning the PPPP were deserved and outright winners Simon Noakes and Trevor Rowlandson who managed just 28 points.
Sarah @ The Thetford Pro Am
What started off as a breezy 7am morning at Thetford Golf Club, turned into a nice day at the Pro Am.
As winter golf goes the weather stayed warm for us as mince pies and coffee were served half way round to keep us going!
Starting with a birdie, par, double, bogey then parring all the holes 'til the last, finishing with a bogey I'm pretty happy with +4 finishing in the top 6.
As a pair with my Dad we finished -2 finishing top 3rd of the draw. The pro's winning score was 69, -3 under par!
