A blustery early-spring day greeted the 44-strong field at Greendale, along with a sprinkling of green-fee players, and despite a fresh nor’west putting a bit of bend in the flagsticks, the course continues to turn out in fantastic nick.
There were some cracking scores in the Match of the Day considering the conditions, although the wind did appear to have a hand in one particularly memorable 18!! strokes on the 8th. We’re not pointing any fingers, of course, but should the hedge mysteriously suffer any malicious damage in the near future, we may have a fair idea where to start our enquiries! 🌳😂
The tailwind also turned a few holes into considerably shorter propositions, with Michael Anderson taking full advantage by driving the 4th green and calmly rolling in the putt for eagle. When the wind’s behind you, you may as well make hay while the sun shines!
Meanwhile, the 1st Round of Men’s Club Championship Matchplay produced some tightly fought encounters, with several matches going right down to the wire — including a couple that needed a trip to the 20th hole to find a winner.
All in all, another busy day around the traps at Greendale, with spring certainly showing signs of arriving — even if the wind had other ideas!
A reminder to ALL members that next Saturday is our AGM at 9.30am followed by a free sausage sizzle prior to Match of the Day. Your attendance would be appreciated...
