Not for the first time this season, the weather was disappointingly wet this morning.

Due to the earlier rain, the decision was taken to play the game over 9 holes. At the end of the match honours were all square, and the final result was a draw 2.5 - 2.5. All to play for next year.

Today the Greenlees team travelled south to play an away match at Turnberry. We were very fortunate to be allowed onto the Ailsa course - the venue for the 2009 Open. Preparations for next year's Championship are already underway and an additional 35 bunkers have been added to the course to make it even more of a challenge. The afternoon stayed dry and the sun shone, but the strong gale force wind off the sea was always going to make good scoring and playing difficult. Greenock lost the match 7.5 - 1.5, but the whole day was a wonderful experience and a great day out. Click on the photo below for some pictures of the day.
