What a glorious day we had at Aboyne yesterday - a real contrast from last year's event, which was rained off (for the 2nd time in its relatively short history). It was shorts all round as the teams lined up for the off - first up were Gary, Ian and Paul:
Then the girls posed for the camera:
Syd, Dan and Ken (just flown in from Abu Dhabi):
Bill Whyman, Matt Grigor, Dick and Malcolm:
Last off were Archie, Bill M, me and Peter:
From the 10th fairway, we looked across the lake and it seemed that the Lodge on the Loch had expanded substantially since we were last here - or are we mistaken?:
Individual winner on the day, and the first person in the 9 years of the event to get his name on the trophy twice (apart from "rained off") was Malcolm with 38 points:
Syd was a distant 2nd with 34, and I was 3rd one further point behind. Unsurprisingly, the team event was also won by Malcolm's group, but the competition wasn't exactly fierce - particularly from team 2, who forgot to keep their team score!
Archie got nearest the pin at the 4th and Malcolm (again) got longest drive at the 16th. Before high tea, we all lined up outside, complete with groupies, for a team photo:
