In this 'summer' we are getting used to surprises. Well today our surprise was scorching sun and a temperature of 26'C, on a slightly soft course after a bit of rain recently! To those from central Lancashire the course was beautiful, with some gentle walks up and down across the brook that runs through the course. There are plenty of mature trees to decorate the course, and catch the unwary, and to provide some welcome shade at times. To those from nearer the coast used to flatter courses and firm fairways where the ball runs and runs, it was a bit of a shock! Such is life.
We all seemed to enjoy the day and a cooling beer on the terrace afterwards, followed by a sumptious roast beef meal, one of the best we've had anywhere!
