This year OPEN WEEK has had some of the best weather possible, and over 1,500 golfers have played from some 50 golf clubs. Last year we had some visitors from Stratford. They returned again this year with a party 20 strong to play in the 4 Ball Better Ball. The week started on Sunday with the Mixed Open Greensome, a Texas Scramble on Monday, individual stablefords on Tuesday and Thursday, Bowmakers on Wednesday and Friday, and a Four Ball Better Ball on the Saturday. Everyone was full of praise for condition of the course and the provision of catering. A good week for everybody, particularly the winners.
