LO ROMERO Thursday 25th July 2024
This month 35 members attended Lo Romero to take part in the 2nd round of our Eclectic Cup Competition. The weather was very sunny and extremely hot. To add to the challenge were the strong windy conditions on the back 9 as the wind picked up in the afternoon. The course was in great condition with exceptional fairways and greens, a good day of golf was enjoyed by many members, which was evident with some excellent scoring (One score which was truly extraordinary).
