Division 2
Friday 19 July, Lewes GC
The British weather lived up to expectation by providing some very unpredictable weather. The Quarter finals for Division 2 were due to be played on the 5 July when summer weather would normally have been expected. However, 8 teams turned up to find a very windy and wet course with visibility almost zero. The first group ventured out for their match but after 5 holes it was decided that the lack of visibility was making it too dangerous to continue and the players were called in and the competition abandoned.
Our thanks to Lewes Golf Club who were extremely helpful in arranging another date for the fixture to be played 2 weeks later and this time the umbrellas were out again but for the sunshine rather than the rain.The fixture was rearranged for two weeks later and this time the umbrellas were out again but for the sunshine rather than the rain.
