Parent and Child Festive Greensomes

It’s a funny time between Christmas and the New Year, a sort of ‘No mans land’ where (apart from the sales) few of us venture out from the confines of our warm and cosy homes. That is apart from some very brave and enthusiastic young players and parents who braved the very worst the elements could throw at them, to enjoy this annual event.
In near sub zero temperatures, a biting wind and rain that hit your skin like needles, survival was more about the quickest than the fittest. Put quite simply, these were the worst conditions I have ever played in, yet no-one complained. I actually felt better for playing, it was invigorating, my cold and sore throat felt better and it didn’t seem to matter who won or lost because in a way everyone triumphed.
Congratulations go to Callum & Colin, Gary & Jack and Lewis & Debbie for winning the trophies and Simon, Joshua, Mark, James, Curtis, Connor, Andy, Jacquelin and Dooby for taking part. Happy New Year to you all! Chris
