Tenby Golf Club's famous Open Week competitions started on Sunday, May 31. This was preceded on Saturday night with the Captain's Reception, where the Mayor of Tenby, Clr. Paul Rapi, and club captain, Richard Ormond, welcomed everyone back to Tenby, the birthplace of golf in Wales.

There was a great atmosphere in the packed clubhouse, with everyone eagerly anticipating six days of competitive golf, prizes and nightly entertainment, as well as catching up with golfing friends old and new.

The weather for the first three days golf was challenging! but there were still some great scores, and a hole-in-one on the 12th hole by Andy Williams from Henley GC.

A full report will follow next week.
