Golfing Days opening event of their 2012 Midlands Amateur Tour took place at The Forest of Arden on Friday 17th Feb 2012. Its now become the home of our first event as in the winter it is always in great condition. The greens where very slick for February and somewhat challenging for all the competitors. After the cold weather we have been experiencing we were treated to a barmy spring like day with temps as high as 12 degrees.
