A damp, showery Saturday saw the 4 Swindles battle it out for top honours. 3-2-1-0 for stableford position in each 4 fourball, the Swindles were squeezed out before the societies, the prize being bragging rights, £750, and the Swindle Cup for 2016.
We had at least 3 showers, umbrella's up/down, rain jackets on/off, teasing Colin on/on. Standard ...

Originals 13 Early Birds 3
The score line suggests an easy win but anyone who ventured out on Sat would confirm there was nothing easy in that cold wind and light rain.

Match Report: Bob’s smash Swashbucklers 12-4
It rained, it was muddy... and to make it worse we got a shoeing today. 12-4.
