Today's event was played at Crompton and Royton Golf Club, the weather was kind but fresh, with a little frost first thing and then a cold breeze later. The course was in great condition, the greens had been ironed and the pins placed in some creative positions, making putting very tricky, as the surfaces were one of the best we have played on and fast.
Scoring was good, but less than half the field managed to get under par. Well played to all the winners.
Just a request for next week, as the nights are drawing in, we need to speed up, or everyone will not get round. Rounds were taking 5 hours today, mainly due to one early group, which backed up right down the field. If you cannot score, please pick up, and try to keep up with the group in front. Apparently there were still a lot of unrepaired pitchmarks again today, please can you repair your pitchmarks, and at least another one if you see any, thank you.
