The other win in their 11-4 loss came from Tora Boyne 1 up.
St John’s Tournament tomorrow – good luck to all playing in it – remember to bring a healthy bank balance as there is an auction afterwards – all proceeds going to a VERY good cause!!
Course is closed Monday and Tuesday due to coring and topdressing – essential maintenance to ensure our course stays in great condition.
Enjoy the middle month of autumn…and good golfing everyone!!
