The Breakfast Stableford was held on Tuesday 15th April. A shot gun start over the first nine holes is followed by a full English buffet breakfast and then the back nine holes. With some high scores on the day the top spot went to Geoff Bannister with 41 points - one point ahead of Andy Brown. It was great to see so many seniors competing but quite understandable when a Toni and Nigel breakfast special is part of the proceedings!
The 6 away matches will be replicated at home with 2 additional matches against Wincanton in a Ryder Cup type format and the Triangular against Cannington and Henstridge. The concentrated fixture list (See panel below) starts on 29th April and finishes on 23rd September taking advantage of good weather and dry courses.
