Tuesday The 8th April 2008: Green Valley ( Stableford) This is one of the better Courses around, and saying that makes this Course something a bit special. At present with most of all the other Courses dry, Green Valley remains in fine condition with grassy fairways and usually greens with grass on them, on this day a little too much. Mind they were not particularly slow, I suppose just in recovery.

 The Course is usually quite difficult and on this day with a strong wind the situation was no different. One thing that caught us out was that between last playing the round two weeks ago, and now, the green fees have gone up. Now this is the first time in all the Years I have been running golf I can remember the prices rising after the 'High Season, and before the 'Low Season'. Weird, I suppose the theory is that with less golfers they need to charge more to get the same money in. Still it is really weird, innit?.

 Back at Bert's we read the results out, and the winner with 41, big, points was  Colin Cronin ahead of Kevin Dunne with a very good, and big, 38 points. We then had a countback on 36 points that saw Mick O'Meara in third and Derek Brook in fourth. In fifth place was Dan Boardman with 31 points.

 The Golf for the next two Tuesdays is cancelled and the next big day at Tropical Bert's is on Wednesday the 23rd April when we have The St George's Day Invitational Scramble. T.T.F.N.
