Bridgetown Golf Sees Wet Course Still Yields Close Plays
Last Saturday's weather stayed favorable for golf despite heavy rains the prior week leaving the course very wet and flooded. Tom Speer won the flag competition by placing the flag on the 19th green, with R Hester close behind. The report notes drainage needs and rubber boots for comfort, plus best stroke scores and a correction: Reg Whitnell and J Whitell won the 4 ball event, not a tie.
