Day 50 - Spring Sunshine

Easter Monday and the first Social event on the Burhill calendar.  Today was the occasion of the Arthur Scott Trophy and the turn-out was excellent: we had almost 100 participants, which is a record for the Club for a Mixed Foursomes event, at least in the recent past.

We were also blessed with some wonderful Easter sunshine: there were even a few players spotted wearing shorts, a first for 2015!  My partner for the day was the Lady Captain, and our playing partners were my wife and son.  Diana and I were ahead after the first 9 holes, but this didn't last, and soon we were left behind.  Kathryn and Andrew did well, managing to secure a third place (on count-back) for their efforts.

Supper was served as soon as we were back in the Clubhouse: an excellent gammon, accompanied by salad and potatoes, with brownies to follow. My first prize-giving ceremony passed off well: no mistakes and I didn't forget any of my lines (though I was told off for not removing my sunglasses off the top of my head for the photographs: memo to self!).  The atmosphere was very good and this bodes well for the rest of the 2015 Social golf calendar...

And if Masters fever has not yet gripped you, may I recommend you watch the new Nike commercial - great stuff!
