Some like it hot!
June 2011 - XGS outing June 25th, what a great event it was. We were met with our first real hot and steamy summer golf event on the plains of Southern Wood. Water and not beer was the essential beverage of the day with the latter finishers doing well to overcome the scorching conditions! Well done all - no serious casualties - but a seriously heat dazed Dane at the finishing line did well to pick up his close to the pin at the well attended Londoner wrap party... Cheers all. (Weather Underground reported Heat Index at 47C @ 11 AM on Sat. cooling to 43C by 2PM).
Looking forward to more sizzling action at Cosco on 9th July - 7am bus from the JJ's / M&You 2 Parking lot... more details to follow by Email.
