Summer Cup Round 1, 8 February 2014

Tuart Course, Wembley Golf Complex, 8 February 2014.

Sponsor: Stephanie

Summer Cup - Round 1 today, on the Tuart.
Comfortable warm temperature, a quite windy though.
In other words, an almost perfect day, ... however I do have 2 complaints:
1. this is an old one: the balls on the flag pins were too many times in the wrong position, this cost me at least 1 stroke. E.g. #3, #8.
2. on the #16, just beside the hole cup, there was a nasty divot..that cost me another stroke, as the ball was nicely rolling towards the cup, but instead it dropped in the OTHER hole.
