Autumn Meeting at Kingsdown 2014

This year the Autumn meeting playing for “The Burridge Salvers" was held at Kingsdown Golf Club.

There were 86 playing captains including six visitors, two each from Sussex, Berkshire and Hampshire. The weather was perfect for golf and the course was playing very well which contributed to some good scores.
