The day was the last chance for the members to claim a medal for the 2020-21 season before the Gold Medal playoff in November.

With a good field of 120 players hitting off the team from the Credit Union were very happy with such a large turnout on a very nice day for golf.

Again all the players were out about for their exercise and also doing the right thing by obeying the rules of the COVID-19 in and around the club.
