Our Autumn Greensome Stableford were held at Costessey Park Golf Club on 19th October 2016. Competition Secretary, Pippa Holliday, reported that 106 players from 19 clubs across the county supported the competition. The course at Costessey Park was very well presented and the newly constructed holes, together with the unfavourable weather, made the course both long and challenging. The hospitality was managed efficiently and the food of soup, sandwiches and chips, well received by all players on a cold and wet day. Sincere thanks go to Sheila Glenn (Vets rep) and her team of helpers for ensuring the day went smoothly. The raffle was generously supported with £151 earmarked for Norfolk Junior Girls. Norfolk Junior Girls donated two porcelain dishes to be presented to the winning pair on the day.
