Mannings Heath Results
The weather was very unkind to us with the first three or four holes, although not ideal, were playable before the heavens opened and the course became unplayable. However, the cast of 17 members made it to the 9th hole before calling it a day and returning to the clubhouse for a hot shower and a beverage or two.
The decisions made by the Hon Sec and the committee were the right ones although the choices were often choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea at times
The event therefore became a mini 9 hole competition with the results as follows:-
The team results were as follows:-
