If you cant stand the heat........

A mini heatwave in April?.... Close your eyes and you could of been stood on the Costa Del Sol. With temperatures reaching 75 degrees conditions couldn't of been better for our opening day at heart common.

The course itself looked to still be going through a transitional period and was left looking unmanicured and tired in places.
As the day progressed the greens and fairways firmed up and proved difficult to judge for the players. However front runners Ste Sutton and Tony Southern made short work of the opening nine both scoring 18 points plus.
....... Stood on the 16th Tee the heat seemed to get the better of Tony who carded just two points in the last three holes and although Ian made a late push the door was left wide open for Ste Sutton to complete a solid round scoring 37 points in total (two clear of Ian and three of Tony).
Steve's opening win puts him top of the Championship Leader board as he looks to regain the title he won in 2009.
Longest drive was taken by Stevie Birrell with a monster on the 9th whilst the nearest the pin was unclaimed.
Full results from the day will follow on the Results page shortly.
