The forecast had been heavy rain all day but most of the morning was still and sunny. Almost 14 teams gathered in the clubhouse and at 1pm we started the event.
First round was blustery with a spot or two of rain but during round 2 we were forced to retreat from heavy driving rain and the event was abandoned before the halfway point and we all went home to dry out. The terrain had standing water in many places.
Some teams had completed 2 games and if there was a winner it looked like Barrie & Pat but we all agreed to abandon and use the entry fees and award the prize money at a later event this year.
By 6 in the evening the storm had passed and it was calm and sunny again.
