Well, it was more of a doggy-paddle, than a turkey trot today. The rain was relentless and in the end only seven ladies played, and some played only 12 holes. Medals for resilience go to Susan Arbuckle, Sue Waddell, Elaine Robson and Meriel Walker for lasting the course. More sensibly, some ladies opted for coffee (or wine) and a game of bridge in the Clubhouse! The Wee Course 4-clubs competition was also abandoned.
In view of the low numbers, I have decided to void the competition and to re-run it next Friday 5th November in conjunction with the first round of the Winter League. As the Winter League is a 12-hole competition, on this occasion the Turkey Trot will be over 12 holes too. As the Winter League is a Strokeplay competition, and the Turkey Trot is Stableford, you will be required to enter two scores on the computer if you wish to participate in both competitions (only one card required).
If you paid the £2 entry fee today, it will roll over to next week (if you are unable to play next week you will get a refund). The online booking for next Friday has been amended and you only need to sign up once to enter both competitions. If you wish to enter only one that is fine and you just need to enter the appropriate score after the game.
Fingers crossed for better weather next week!
Below some of the hardy souls who ventured out today.
