Ash's Days Out
Away day 2023/24 : 5th February 2024: Crondon Park GC
16 WPS seniors were at Crondon Park basking in glorious February weather, Bright, sunny and 10 degrees, however it was a bit windy. The day started with Coffee and bacon rolls and ended with ham, eggs and chips, The breakfast and lunch was excellent. The bit in the middle i.e. the golf was not so good.
Prior to tee off we were told hole 4 was closed due to work on the bridge, so everybody was awarded 2pts for that hole, A further reward was a free beer with lunch. Actually I was given a 4 ball voucher which I sold to Spiggy for a bargain £80 and I used the money to pay the bar bill.
So to the golf which makes horrific reading. highest score 31 by Mark Woodcock. 2nd on 29 and b9 of 19 Henry Vialls. 3rd with 29 and b9 of 15 John Powell, Better ball pairs won by Dave Handley and Henry Vialls with 38pts. NP won by Mark Woodcock.
So why was it difficult? excuses could be:-
Too windy
Course too tight
Course too long
No run on soft fairways
tricky fast greens
We weren't very good on the day
Take your pick
Early leaders for the awayday cup are Kevin, Ash and Bill
