Excellent scoring at Seaford Head with Mr Graham Meadows having an outstanding round
The weather could not have been kinder on a mid- November day with overcast skies, a very light breeze and relatively warm. Good to see Carl Valentine and Andy Bishop at the event who are long term friends of the society – we hope to see them out again with us regularly in the New Year.
A couple of the MGS members may have had better scores if the Hon Handicap Sec had not on a couple of occasions pointed them in the wrong direction to the wrong green!! The views as ever were stunning in particular on the upper part of the course on the back nine. Some fantastic scores not least in the team competition with two unbelievable scores!!
The overall results were as follows with the average individual score for the day being 36.32 comfortably the highest of the season.
