Captain Pro
The Captain and I played Laurence Weir and Keith Howard this week. Iit was a fantastic match. It was great to see the new bunkers on the 12th and 13th.
The captain and I were 1 up coming to the 18th off the back tees Keith made a fantastic birdie two tying the match.
We are Looking forward to the next one.
