Pro's Day 2011

Stevie Bree, the Club's PGA Professional, held his annual "Pro's Day" competition on Saturday 28th May. Despite it being the May Holiday Weekend (or maybe because of it) the players had to endure periods of torrential rainfall with strong winds, although for the majority of the time it was dry.

As usual Stevie laid on complimentary sandwiches, chocolate bars, beers and soft drinks at the 13th Tee where his assistants also took bets from the players that they could hit the Par 3 Green: do so and you got twice your money back in Vouchers, miss the Green and you still were given a voucher to the value of your bet to spend in the Pro Shop.

Mitchells Restaurant of Carmunock kndly provided their vintage van (shown below) from which the snacks were served and it also provided shelter for Stevie's son, Paul, and his colleagues who were on duty there all day.
