Xmas Bash and draw for Dewlands

The weather looks decent, for a change for our Christmas Bash on Thursday. We have a good strong field of 20 with the odd member or two taking a late fitness test to decide if they can play.

Dewlands was designed and built in 1989 the golf course covers the land that surrounds Dewlands Manor. These fields have always been part of the manor domain which dates back to the 15th Century. Sited on the second highest point in Sussex the location provides delightful views to the South Downs.
