Captains Drive In 

Last Saturday was the official season opening day and our Traditional Captains Drive in, this year followed by a betterball stableford with each pair representing either the Captain or the President.

Mike Bohannon our new Captain drove in at 11.45 and on a wet miserable day hit an absolute corker of a drive straight down the middle watched by a hundred or so golfers.

Then on Wednesday despite the course being closed due to the recent wet weather our new Lady Captain Viv Birchall drove in to open the Ladies season, although there was no golf to follow.

Not to be outdone by the Captain, Viv also hit a fantastic Tee shot under possibly the most pressure she will feel all year with everyone watching. Massive congratulations to Mike and Viv and I hope you both have a fantastic year.


Junior Captains Drive In

Our New Junior Captain Joe Finch drove in on Sunday watched by a large group of juniors and parents.

There was a sweep to guess how far Joe would hit it which was jointly won by Jeff Ratcliffe and Richie Evans who both guessed 225 yards. Well it was into the wind and Joe pushed it out to the right! The distance was lasered by Mark Rimmer and the juniors then went out to play their first competition of the season. 

Good luck Joe I hope you have a great year.


 

Off To Augusta

On Thursday we will be off on our Masters trip, it is getting quite exciting. Having watched the Masters since being a young boy it will be amazing to actually step out onto the course. 

We are there for the Monday practice day when it's a little more relaxed and so will get lots of photo opportunities and can't wait to see if it lives up to expectation.
