Started snowing last night and thought our chances of playing today were slim so what a surprise when I’d filled up a bottle of warm water to de-ice the car windscreen to find it clear. Went down for a course inspection at 7.15 am and was delighted to find it playable. Kirsten was first to arrive followed by Conan, Stuart and Cammy. The boys played a Winter League card and an up to date table is now up on the Junior board. Conan holds a half point advantage over Archie but I’m sure others will figure soon as more rounds are played. Although the ground was rock hard with a wee covering of snow, the sky was clear and the Sun shining. Everyone played well and I am so impressed by the commitment these juniors have. After the round we played a better ball match over the first and ninth, with Kirsten and myself giving the boys a shot each on both holes. A ten foot birdie putt on the first gave us the lead and a par on the last for a half was good enough to secure a win.
Ken Macleod approached me to say he had a set of irons in his boot for the hire scheme. Cleveland Hibore and 2 Odyssey putters - a Tri-ball SRT and 2 Ball F7. Pat Duffy also donated 2 putting aids and numerous balls last week to be used as prizes. The generosity of members never ceases to amaze me.
Tomorrow weather permitting we will have our normal Fun Texas Scramble open to all juniors and Kirsten will be in charge.
