Great Fun Day at The Lottbridge Golf Club

Thirty Eight of the Lottbridge Seniors took part in the April medal today at the Lottbridge Golf Club. The weather was fine and dry but a little cool with a brisk northerly breeze. The course continues to recover well and it’s starting to feel like spring is here.

Senior Captain, Dennis Sutherland, thanked the Fairway Staff of Karen and Tony for a nice warm cup of coffee on our arrival back from 18 holes. 

Thanks also went to Richard Ellis and Les Buckle for their admin help today.
