Sportability Charity Golf Day @ Royal Norwich Golf Club

Sportability - Taking the Dis out of Disability

Dame Kelly Holmes MBE Double Olympic Champion says, "I have seen how important sport can be in people's lives, both as athletes and fans. But the concept of using sport to rebuild a life shattered by paralysis adds another perspective. The work that Sportability does is not only fun, but it helps people to redefine themselves and achieve far beyond the confines of the wheelchair."

Texas Scramble format played on a bright, then breezy then wet day at Royal Norwich GC, 22 teams of four playing for some great prizes handicap worked out as 10% of joint full handicap totals - 6.3 for our team (RAF Coltishall). The team of Bob W, Jon T, Jimmy W and Jon P started really well and after the ninth quite confident with 2 birdies and an eagle in the bag. However, slow play, wet weather and concentration levels sinking we managed total of 62.7 after the round. We were quite happy till looking at the score sheet and saw the 61, 60, 58, 56, and a 52 the winning total.

A good day out and a very worthwhile charity maybe next year might guarentee in mid July some good weather to top the day off.

Special thanks to Denis Wreford (Classic Golf) for the invite
