The Road to Margate - Dorridge

In a pre-british Open warm-up a second visit was made to the 12-hole Minigolf Course at Dorridge.


With the weather a lot better (and drier) than the previous visit my scores improved with rounds of 28 (+4), 26 (+2) & 26 (+2).


All good practice ahead of the BMGA British Open in Margate.

The Ham & Eggers Sports and Social Club could only manage 'Bronze' position in the George II pub quiz this week.

But, two wins out of three appearances in four weeks is not too bad!
