Winter League



Hello People I am alive and well, well only just.

Alas due to the weather and work committments I have been unable to  frequent the course as much as I would have liked.

After 19 weeks of golf,during the winter months,with over 30 players taking part,it took a playoff to decide the winner.

Last years defending champion Robin McDougall and Gerry Gallagher went head to head on the Saturday for the right to be called Winter League Champion.
Still in the Stableford formatt.,after a close front 9,  Gerry playing the steadier golf managed to win,

So congratulations to all  who took part and especially Gerry who prevailed in some trying conditions.
