With the shorter days arriving and the weather change, it was Eddie Margey [12], introducing his new set of Taylormade to Barnhill for the first time who tamed the Swilly breeze.
Despite double bogeys at 3rd and 9th holes, he still managed the outward nine for 20pts and repeated the scoring back to the clubhouse for an overall 40pts.
