Challenging Day Out For The Proserpine Veteran’s Golf

This week’s competition was marked by very blustery conditions, making play particularly challenging for the 38 players who turned out for the Stableford event.

A heavy shower before the start of play added to the difficulty, and the scoring reflected the windy conditions and the tough putting on the more exposed greens.

The Proserpine Veterans were pleased welcome James House from Margaret River Golf Club, who joined once again.
