Well what a day, at last! 156 players entered into the Vet's AM AM Stableford at Coventry Golf Club on Monday 16th August and what a day it was. With a field that strong their were some early starters - 8.30 a.m. in fact - with the last group gouing out at 3.00 p.m. Two teams must not have been delighted with their scores as their cards were not handed in!!
Lady Captain of Coventry, Maggie Bourton having been second out in the morning returned for the Prize Presentation and gave a few words of welcome and hoped that everyone had enjoyed their day both on the course and in the clubhouse (how normal that now sounds!!) Vet's President, Val Barker presented Maggie with a plant as a small token of our appreciation. Val then asked Maggie to thank those from the club who had helped to make our day such a success - Manager Gregg for his input pre event and assistance with computer connections during the day, the Greens staff for producing such a wonderful course for us to play and of course the Bar and Catering staff for looking after us pre and after golf. Everything went extremely well.
