Saturday saw this years annual carols in the clubhouse. Again lead by Mags on the keyboard members enjoyed a hearty sing along. With mince pies and sausage rolls in abundance merriment was the order of the day.

56 players enjoyed yet another lovely December day, although when organiser Dave Tweed arrived at Silves golf course at 7.15 everything outside was covered with white frost!  So, 14 teams played the Seattles Shambles game in which the best drive from the team is selected, but everyone plays their own ball after that. Please continue reading for the full photo gallery and full report.

This year's Foundation Cup, the second time it's been held, was won by Ian Chapman. A very blustery day saw some high scores with a huge majority of the competitors playing well below their handicap allowances. Ian however beat the conditions to record a magnificent 37 points including 21 on the back nine.

For the second time this week a SdM member has achieved a hole in one.
