Results for June 6th and the unfurling of the new Club Flag

The morning started with the unfurling of the new club flag by our eldest member Steve Baczkowski [97.5 years young]. Bearing in mind Steve's wartime experiences and today's date it was a moment for reflection.  Photos to follow.

25 players returned a wide range of scores. The conditions suited Bill Hardcastle who won with 22 points, Chric Malcolm coming second on 20 points having eased out Willie Waters on countback. Chris was inches from an ace at 7 taking nearest the pin and converting the birdie. Birdies were also recorded by Bill Hardcastle and Ian Tate at 9.

Thanks to Brian Taylor for donating 1 doz new balls to the stock.
