We were blessed with a wonderful day's weather at S&A, light winds and an excellent surface, which after the deluge of the previous day was a delight. It was a priviledge to play these famous old links on such a lovely day, and to enjoy the hospitality in the lovely clubhouse. The rain on Wednesday made the greens receptive which certainly helped me, and made the course a touch easier.
Nineteen golfers supported our Captain Nick Pilkington on his day, and there were some good scores and no less than FOUR players registered 2's, to the Secretary's chagrin.
