In a change from tradition, Dalhousie Seniors played Panmure Seniors over the Championship Course with an 8.45 am start on June 4. The result was certainly a quicker round than the previous lunchtime starts - and in a poll of the participants afterwards the overwhelming majority view was to continue the early start in future years.
The result of the match was a four and a half to two and a half victory for Dalhousie - a lead which we shall have to fight hard to maintain in the return match at Barry on July 30.
