Club Championship Round 2

It was the 2nd round of the SOS Club Championship events and 21 intrepid golfers lined up for a round of stroke play on the Old Course.  Fortunately, the forecast 6 mm of rain in the morning had already passed through by the time the first group teed off and, apart from a few minor showers, the skies were blue, light winds and lots of puffy white clouds.  Excellent golfing weather!

With a backdrop of blue skies, Andrea, Earle
 & Mark Macnish prepare to tee off!

Michael & Glen bask in the sunshine!

Drue O'Donahue, Tony & Carol were in the 3rd group.

Tony James & Barry Treak  - half of the 6th & last group.

Carol & Barry

Carol looking confident!

Honorary life members Colin & Greg ready for
 their 2,000th (plus approx.) game with SOS!!

The post game meeting was held outdoors - the sun was shining!

Beers & wine after a hard fought round!

Carol was keen to display her recently engraved Easter Cup Trophy!
