LANG LANG GOLF CLUB
Club Championships are in full swing at Lang Lang with round two completed on Saturday with a full field taking to the course.
The morning crew kicked off the day under pretty good conditions, cloudy with a little bit of wind but no rain.
The afternoon golfers were rushing against the clock to get their rounds completed before the promised rain started.
A highlight of the day was Daryl Barker’s eagle on the 7th.
Daryl made a long-range pitch from the fairway and managed to find the bottom of the cup, with the putter being left in the bag.
Well done to Daryl.
