01/03/2025 - Calderwood Valley Golf Course - Matchplay Championships - ROUND 1 Individual Stableford - 6:50am

32 players teed off on a warm morning with clear skies and a slight breeze that helped to keep the heat and humidity in check.

The fairways had a very good grass cover and they had been well mowed producing a reasonable amount of 'run' and the rough was a bit long but in good condition.

The greens were in good condition helping goof putters to sink their putts.

Bunkers were in play and players were allowed 6 inch preferred lie on fairways.
