Weather playing havoc with Fossils' schedule

THE golfing week started well as the seven-pair team made their way to Lanhydrock to play their delayed match.

Led out by Will Carslaw, the team enjoyed lovely warm conditions with sunshine and a gentle breeze whilst the parkland course looked an absolute picture, but on this occasion it was only upon arrival on the first green that the true condition became apparent.

Whilst the fairways were well grassed and running really well, the greens were just recovering from hollow tining and sanding which impacted on putting. The overnight rain meant that the greens were receptive but also exposed that many cores were still unfilled. Nonetheless, all players seemed to relish the challenge over the long course.
