RECORD PERFORMANCE BY GILL
County team regular, Gill Westgate, made a big hole in her handicap last week when she equalled the Beds & County course record. Gill shot a 69, and rumour has it there were two sixes on the card! [Editor's note - by my calculations that's a whole aviary of birdies!] Well playedGill.
