Members of Rotary Becket do not just do "good works" they also have fun - and a bit of competition.
On Friday the 19th we held our annual President’s Putter Golf Day which took place on a very wet Friday at Kilworth Springs Golf Club. Members and friends are invited to take part for a "friendly competition".
President Tade was presented the winners Rotarian John Saynor and his partner friend Richard Loveland with the trophy. The good news is that as the Rotarian winner John gets to hold the award for the year. The bad news is that he has to arrange next year's game!!
