2 "five goals in a match" from Adrian Thorne and Bill Curry,

Well done Al for that and a big Thank You to Richard for what he did then and for the interview now. The memories it brought back made me quite emotional.

This will be coffee and bacon rolls, 18 holes, (stableford format), 4-course meal, followed by the presentation of trophies and prizes. Apart from all of the team and individual trophies, there will again be a prize on every hole. And...
