Veteran’s Golf: November 14

Aberdeen Golf Course is always presented well for the Vets and Tuesday, November 14 was no exception when 31 players contested a stroke and putting event. The greens, fairways and tees were all mown and the bunkers raked for us. Thank you to Dog Dowell and all the helpers.

Captain Phil Ledgerwood expertly got us all off to a shot-gun start. It was great to have Paul Gorman back with us after the round.
