Today we had 26 members and 2 guests from Ireland and we played a team game. The format was PairsTexas Scramble. The pairs played off 25% of their combined full handicap and each player had a take a minimum of 6 drives.
This made a nice change from the usual 4-man Texas Scramble.
Trish, applauded by Wendy
There was some extra excitement as one of our members had a hole-in-one. Trish Kelleher, who was in the last group of players, was greeted with a lot of applause from all of us as she entered the club terrace, to congratulate her for her first ever hole-in-one on hole 8, witnessed by her two friends from Ireland.
We toasted Trish with a glass of cava, sponsored by the Society.
