Berkhamsted proved to be a real challenge to our golfing technique. It all sounds so easy when you are told that there are no bunkers!! Far from it, you need to be very accurate as venturing even into the semi-rough can result in disaster!!
The weather was to say the least changeable, sunny and warm at times then rainy and cold within minutes!!
23 members and 9 guests braved the testing course and conditions to post a score.
We all enjoyed the Berkhamsted hospitality with a wholesome 2-Course dinner during which the ball sweep netted £320 for the British Heart Foundation. Thanks to all our guests and members alike for their contributions!!
Some managed to return a decent score and prizes were awarded by Captain Fiona Watson as follows:-
One of only 2 teams to bring back the Yellow Ball!!!
James and Brendan won with 38 points in the better-ball competition ahead of no less than 5 teams on 37 points. Very Close!!
James won a tight competition on 31 points ahead of Daz Bloor on 30!!
Congratulations to Garry who recorded a great 35 points in those conditions (Cut by 15% of his WHS) from Tom Swaysland 34 points (18 on the back 9 – Cut 7.5%) and Terry Dobbins (16 on the back 9)
The next event is Captains Day, this year at Harleyford GC on 18th July 2024.
