Getting Ready

I thought I'd prepare for a busy weekend - AGM, Drive-in, hosting at the 12th tee and the evening party - by going to my first ever Workmen's Club event, the annual trip, which was to the Roxburghe.

The alternative was practising my drives.

It was a tough but enjoyable parkland course with great views of the Borders, and a good change from the windy coast. The closest I got to a prize was partnering Bill Mordue and watching him win one of the nearest the pin prizes - a good effort as we were in the first group out. Based on my drives, I'm predicting a 70% chance of not clearing the dinkie on Sunday.

Michael Thompson won, Chris Hall was second and Phil Holmes, who'd arranged the day, third.
