Despite the A3 being shut all 18 players made it to Hurtmore Golf Club in time for the event. The early morning fog cleared in time for our first tee time at 10:32. It was chilly but soon the sun started to shine for throughout the entire afternoon, the course was in good condition and the excellent greens ran true and fast.
Paul Risk returned to play his first Bunkers event for more than 11 years.
We had new guests Rob Law and Samir Tappouni. All together we had 18 players some of whom enjoyed a hearty breakfast before play. The after golf meal Hunters Chicken , chunky chips and peas was delicious followed by desert lemon tart with fresh raspberries - sweet and tasty.
