It seems every year our tournament gets bigger and better. The atmosphere in the Golf Club was truly amazing. It’s like a reunion, with the participants from both the north and south of us mixing so well.
We received some wonderful comments from the visitors regarding the beautiful condition of our course and improvements that have been made. Thanks go to the ground staff, who have done a splendid job, the bar and kitchen staff and also to the organizing committee for a splendid and well runtournament.
