Teams For Pro Am Competition 12th March

You will see your playing partner (teams of 2) and your 4 Ball teeing off time opposite.

All the teams were selected by AI (Chat GPT) on the basis of getting the best groups so that the sum of both handicaps were evenly spread across all teams.

If you want to see our Club Pro Alec Smith tee off he goes at 08:26 followed by his playing partner Clive Elliot who wont be far behind him.
