Comments:
After completing 9 holes of scramble golf at the beautiful Countryview Golf Course all players were treated to Scallop Potatoes and Ham with Pumpkin and Apple Pie for dessert.
Although the ice was in immaculate condition teams struggled in execution of required shots. I am sure shotmaking will improve as season progresses.

Thanks:
Special thanks to Carl and Karen at Countryview who were wonderful hosts at the golf club and presented four fleece jackets as prizes. Other winners received Gift certificates from the curling club.
A Big thanks to Lance Lowther and his crew for getting the ice in wonderful shape for the opening of Our curling season.
