a slight hiccup on arrival as the receptionist said the accompanying adult was inappropriately dressed! polo top
trousers and trainers, to drive the buggy! she was the only person who seemed
to have that opinion!

The start of the round was a little hectic as there weren't enough buggies. It was about 2 minutes before we were due to tee off that we eventually received our buggies. Course was in good condition.
