Formby Ladies Spring Competition - March 15th 2024

Well we are off for 2024 with a dry day at the lovely Formby Ladies Golf Course.  There was no rain but there was a brisk westerly wind which made it a chilly experience, but making the redecorated clubhouse all the more welcoming at the end of the round.  We were served a warming steak pie followed by apple crumble, most welcome on a chilly March day.

It was a successful day for Captain Nick Pilkington's first meeting of the year.  28 golfers signed up for the day a healthy entry this early in the year. There were a number of excellent scores with the results being as follows....
