Over the stunning hill-side course at Woodlake Park near Usk, with magnificent views over the Llandegfed Reservoir and the distant snow-capped mountains of the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains, the first event of the Nomads season took place.
Thirty players braved the treacherous slopes on a sunny day on this magnificent course which proved a stern test for the golfers, with only one player breaking the 30 point mark.
That achievement went to Rowland Joyce whose 30 points was just enough to beat Michael Griffiths on 29 who was second on countback from Darren Williams.
The divisional winners were: – Derek Freeman-Jones (1), Mark Willicott (2), Wayne Stewart (3) and Dave Curtis (4).
Other prize winners were for Longest Drive. Gary O’Connell, Nearest the Pin, Derek Freeman-Jones and Par 3′s, Mark Willicott.
The day was ended with a nice meal of Leek and Potato soup, followed by Gammon and Chips. The monthly raffle was won by Mark McGirr.
