Saturday started bright, dry and early for the Captains, Dave Holland and Judith Gorman, of Cleethorpes GC, perfect conditions for the start of what culminated, after all the hard work and planning, to be an extremely pleasing result both financially for the Charity concerned ‘The Rock Foundation’ and the competitors.
The Clubhouse opened early to provide much needed refreshments for the ‘early risers’ with the first of the 48 teams teeing off for this 4 ball AM-AM competition at 7.54am and the last one’s going out at 2.30pm – what tremendous support with prizes for Ladies, Men and Mixed teams.!!!
