After nearly 2 years since we returned to Theale Golf Club, with a number 11 players participated this event. Weather forecast was mixture of rain and sunshine definitely for Springtime during the Spring Season overall the weather was decent. The golf course itself was in perfect form fairways fresh cut grass the greens were fast, super tricky to putt the balls in.
After the last group finished the last hole of the round we all freshened up and got dressed meet up in the bar for drinks before being called for dinner. Main course Chicken & mushroom pie with chunky chips and peas and for dessert fruit crumble with vanilla custard delicious crumble !
We all enjoyed ourselves and each other’s company.
