Day two was a more overcast, cooler day. The fun non-qualies competition went out at 7am from the 10th, to be won in the end by our own Wayne Nowak, who was complaining about his measly 38points (as usual!) in the clubhouse after.  Congrats Waynetta.  Having a few around for a BBQ and to see the qualifers come in was great. We did have a couple ...

The big weekend came around at last, the Surrey National Club Championship. Practice rounds were enjoyed, clubs cleaned (maybe not Brian Chamberlain's), dreams of victory no doubt floated around the club.  Could everyone's game come good on the day... and then again the next day.  The weekend saw pretty good weather, somewhat breezy and a bit ...
