The first day of the Vets Jamboree against the English Regions at the Hirsel in the Borders took place and to everyone's delight it was a gorgeous day, warm and sunny after torrential rain on Sunday and Monday. The flag raising opening ceremony had taken place in heavy rain.
The Course was very wet but dried well during the course of the day with the warm sunshine. Forecast for the week is set to be dry. The greenkeepers had done a very good job for today.
