Corbett Court Spring League commences
Last weekend saw the teeing-off of the Corbett Court Spring League with a very good turnout of 13 teams. Some excellent scores were returned – please see men’s club results below for results.
As the League progresses over the next 3 weeks, we will post the team results and standings. All entrants should endeavour to play each week as your team gains a bonus point for each week played. Thank you again to Declan Corbett for his generous sponsorship.
Weather was mainly good but with some cold/wet spells. The course is playing well despite some recent heavy rain. The greens and fairways are in great shape thanks to the maintenance crew – well done folks! Member help is always appreciated in replacing divots and repairing pitch-marks.
