The course was, once again in superb order in anticipation for the eagerly awaited day and the ladies did not disappoint, with a fantastic turn out and some great golf.

The winning formula for the day commenced with a bang as the Lady Captain fired the gun for the shot-gun start, then sped off in a well stocked buggy to deliver some hard earned refreshments to the Ladies out on the course, and to everyone’s delight the beautiful blue skies prevailed, ensuring lots of run on the ball and perfect scoring conditions.

The after dinner entertainment got everyone on their feet for some Salsa lessons and dancing.
