Over Nighter at Old Thorns
March 18th and 19th saw six brave ladies take on the challenge of this premier 18-hole,

Away Day at Beachlands Par 3 Golf course, Hayling Island
Wednesday 12th March saw 12 of us heading off for an away day at Beachlands,
which is a par 3 course, situated on Hayling Island.
To add a little interest to the day we only counted our putts.
In teams of 3 for the first 3 holes, the number of putts for each player in the team was counted.
For holes 4 to 6 only the lowest two putts were counted and on the final 3 holes
only the lowest number of putts were counted.
Two teams scored exactly the same number requiring a count back.
As team 3 had a score of 1 putt on the 9th hole, they were declared the winners.
Prizes of chocolate Easter eggs were presented over a delicious lunch at the Yew Tree on Hayling Island.
A thoroughly enjoyable day.

After all the weeks of rain we have experienced, it is fabulous to be back out on the golf course.

The proceeds were donated to Sophie's Legacy.
