Thank you to all who donated a prize for our Tombola raffle, it was a long-drawn-out raffle, but we got there in the end. We had a couple of funny comps running while we were enjoying our grazing platters and waiting for the groups to come in. Our putting comp was WTA, 6 balls for a dollar and the person with the most points wins! Congrats to Keith and Ken on coming up with a draw, they decided to share the massive winnings. The next comp was “GUESS HOW MANY BALLS IN THE BUCKET!” it was a huge success and came down to the wire…Well done Judy Mount for guessing 10! and winning not only the 10 balls, new tees and a golf towel.
A fantastic day! See you next Sunday….it looks like another full field for our first Medley competition an Irish Stableford.
Cheers Katrina Springfield
