St Andrews ( Stableford) Good thing about This time of year it is the special 'Sports Day Rates' that come along. Most of the Courses have a special on, and as we play on a Tuesday we usually take advantage of the Tuesday Sports Day.
The 'Special' on this day was at St Andrews and the players at Bert's do like visiting this Course, in fact it is their favourite and they insist I book it as soon as it comes on offer.
The good thing about the Course is it is very difficult, but it is also picturesque and quiet. Once you get on the Course a quiet descends and you are in your own little World. Of course the fairways are well defined, and the greens are tricky but that is all to be expected.
One of the good things here is the Clubhouse, the showers are fine and modern and the Restaurants are good with fine food and cold beer. Soon it was time to leave and get back to Bert's.
We had plenty of time there to sit and drink, on Bert's 'Golfers Special', as one of the cars got 'lost', and unfortunately it had two of the three winners in. So we had a few more drinks and finally they tottered through the door. The winner with 36 points was John Heffernan ahead of Bill Knight with 35 points who won on countback over Richard Line in third. In fourth was Dick Warberg with 33 points. T.T.F.N.
