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

Honorary life members Colin & Greg ready for

Novelties

It just takes a good golf stroke or two or three to win the NTP's.

Mark Macnish did well to beat Peter on the index 1, 5th hole after Peter's 3rd stroke from about 80 metres landed some 10cm from the hole! But Mark got closer!
