FELIXSTOWE             5           SbN              3

On arrival the golf club we were greeted with tea / coffee and a bacon roll to fortify ourselves against what was to come.

To say it was wind was an understatement . To say it was raining lightly was an under statement. ( Our captain complained after the game that the rain hurt his youth like soft skin )  To say we were all looking forward to going out to play golf was also a understatement .To say the rough was cut , was a complete and utter lie.
