Spring League
12/3. Week 1 of the Spring League is up and running. While the days will be getting longer so will the course with T’s on the move as ground dries and grass grows. Encouragement to all to keep it up guys and make the odd call to fellow members. Round 2 started on the 14th. and runs to Sunday 23rd. Longer course and 3 scores counting ramps up the pressure just a little bit. Holes 3 to 16 off white markers is the course. Markers are to differentiate between the two weeks in play. Week 1 runs to Monday 17th. As you play, please return card despite your score. Week 2 is moving nicely with more than half the field having their duty done. You can still avail of the good days and try and improve on it. All for the Team. Week 3 starts Friday 21st and runs to Sunday 30th. Holes 1 to 16 off “GREEN” Markers with 3 scores to count. Due to a number of weather issues arising, Week 2 has been extended to Wednesday 26th.
Week 3 has started 23rd..
