It must have been quite hot, but I believe there was a bit of a breeze as well, which helped , as well as the height above sea level.

Congratulations to the winners and to everyone who took part, we look forward to seeing you at the next competition.  Good luck!

Minthis Hills Golf Club is very busy and sociable.  There are plenty of tournaments throughout the year to pit your skills against your fellow members and then relax in the clubhouse afterwards.  We haven’t announced the results for a while, so below you will find the winners of the last few competitions.  We’d like to thank them for taking part and hope they enjoyed themselves.

St Patricks Day golf tournament at Minthis Hills

On the 17^th March, Minthis Hills Golf Club held its annual St Patrick’s Day competition (www.minthishills.org).

This year there were 84 entrants, from both Minthis Hills and other clubs, surpassing all previous years.  Always good “craic”, this year was no exception.  Green was the colour of the day and a few St Patrick’s Day party hats were in attendance.

The field was highly competitive, but well natured and the jokes were flying, especially after a refuel at the 10^th hole. As sponsors, Pafilia and Minthis Hills were very proud to sponsor this event and that everyone enjoyed it so much.  We believe, itIt is an excellent way to celebrate St Patrick’s Day and we look forward to next year’s tournament.

The winners board:

1^st Men            H. Austin & P. Williams

2^nd Men           R. Birkett & P. Skinner

 1^st Ladies         A. Aldridge & D. Hudson

2^nd Ladies        Lesley Jones & J. Jackson

 Mixed              Linda Jones & G. Turton
