A very close match at North Berwick in challenging conditions.

With the current yellow weather warning it was touch and go whether to play the final match of the season at North Berwick or postpone it until November. However with no certainty as regards good weather and course conditions in November plus the likelihood from recent experiences about the weather forecast not being as bad as predicted it was decided just to go ahead with the match as planned. So with a very strong and chilly northerly wind but most importantly no rain the match was played as scheduled. The course was in excellent condition and the greens which had been cored about 2 weeks ago had fully recovered. The catering and bar staff served us well both before and after the match and once again everybody enjoyed the course and the company despite the challenging conditions.
