On the warm still evening evening of 8th August 2000, twelve members of BTRGS
played against a team from Halesworth Golf Club in our first ever fixture at
this venue.
Although a relatively new course, around ten years old, recent years have seen
major improvements to the greens and fairways. Drainage work was in progress
and there are plans to improve the course further.
The long fairways posed less of a problem than the rough - where many players
lost stokes as they tried to machete their way out. Unfortunately, it was BTRGS
players that played most of the strokes and we lost by nine holes.
The match concluded with a very nice meal in the dining room on the first floor,
overlooking the 18th fairway, where we were invited to return again next year.
