WITH King Tides flooding the causeway and parts of the course almost daily, and continual rain and strong winds most days, the last week has been terrible for both Golfers and Club Patrons.

Thursday’s Golf, Bingo and Restaurant Lunch all had to be cancelled.

Notwithstanding, a good number of hardy golfers managed to dodge the elements to get in their beloved game of golf.

Causeway Thursday 3 February 11.00am.

We acknowledge this week’s featured sponsor was Midstate Financial Services – Stuart Garvey – Thank you Stuart.
