A Bit of Playful Challenge and Sunny Skies
A touch hilly in certain areas, as reported by the early starters, the tee times seemed to correspond humorously with their ages - 7:30 AM felt like 73 years, adding a lighthearted touch to the day's proceedings.
The sun's warm embrace lasted throughout the day, setting the perfect backdrop for a gathering of over 200 golfers eager to embrace the challenge that lay ahead.
From Tee to Table: A Culinary Journey
The catering staff ensured a seamless start, and as the day unfolded, the aroma of a help-yourself carvery wafted through the air, a siren call that overpowered thoughts of diets and warm-up ranges. The allure of a cold beer became the prevailing theme, celebrating the camaraderie and joys of the day.
The Elusive Birdies and Remarkable Drives
The demanding Par 3s proved their mettle, allowing only a select few to claim the elusive birdie. In fact, these challenging holes witnessed just 7 birdies in the 2's pot, a testament to their formidable nature and the skill required to conquer them.
The Men's Longest Drive honor was seized by Oliver Lewis, while Jorja Newbold etched her name in the record books for the Ladies Longest Drive, achieving a remarkable distance of over 260 yards.
