Sunday Sporters have certainly had a tough time of it recently facing rain, frost fog and last weekend very cold and gusty westerly winds greeted players.
Everyone was well rugged up for Sunday morning competition, with the back nine in play for last week.
There were a few of the regular faces missing as players teed off. Perhaps they were home feeding the wood fires.
Chris Binge shrugged off the conditions to return the not the best nett score of 25 for the day the day, but also the best gross of 43 for the round to claim the daily double.
Word has it that Ray Thorn has turned to Mr Google to get his game in shape and the plan worked as he collected runner up prize with a nett 26 score.
Gregg Steele, who was visiting found the course to his liking and featured taking the run down prize with nett 29. Two pin shots were on offer, both going to good shots in.
Probably a good thing that there was no encouragement award as there would have had to be a four way cut to find the wind with many finding the conditions quite challenging (at least that was their excuse.)
This week Sporters return to the front nine and will be keenly checking the forecast hoping the weather gurus have it right and there are only light winds after last week.
Everyone is invited to join the Sporters crew for nine holes and tee off is at the normal time of 7.30 to 8am. Of course, that is always dependant on the weather conditions in winter.
