Today we played Texas Scramble.  We had 7 teams of 4, and everyone had to take 4 drives. There were also 4 nearest to the pin prizes, open to all.

All men were playing off the blue tees.

 

As the front nine greens had been hollow-tined, a maximum of 2 putts were given on those tees, the putts on the back nine greens were counted as normal.

 

There were some great results, the first three teams all came in with minus 11. Congratulations to everyone.
