Ruth did quite well, but on the other course. Thanks to Marion Hartley for making the sausage rolls and mince pies, and all the others who brought stuff to help us break our New Year's Resolutions early and get it over with.

Held on 1st March at Hastings Adventure Golf. There was only one under par score for this three round event at the Adventure course - by the winner, Seve Kukielka. The top three ladies are shown, all had rounds of over 40 at some point! Never mind, it was fun.
