Hi everyone

Today delivered most unusual weather for Round 2 of this year’s SIHFT. Hardly a breath of wind – except every time I took my shots in the field – and wall-to-wall sunshine.

BIG thanks to the Oakies for putting out splendid HFT course, including the new/old fields on the Downs with some added cow; first time I’ve ever heard a marshal call for extra bodies to chase off the cattle

And another good turnout of 70 – 18 of which were from our ‘newbies’, Meon Valley, making it clear that there's a keen appetite for HFT as far west as Hampshire. Well done guys and showed in your taking the day’s top score and excellent and 1st place winning team score.
