Captains Weekend
Congratulations and a huge thank you to Our Captain Mick Bohannon for his generosity and hosting a fantastic weekend which was blessed with glorious weather and fantastic scoring. The Prize Table was very impressive as was the winning score.
A fantastic 1st round 63 after going out in an impressive 29 shots, the 1st round leader was Garry Lacy and when he added a 69 in the 2nd round his impressive gross of 132 and nett of 134 was good enough to win the nett prize by 3 shots from Dave Woodcock. Matt Gallagher took the 36 hole gross prize with 78 and an impressive 69.
Congratulations to all the winners and all the helpers who made the day run smoothly. Not everyone can be a winner but everyone enjoyed the pies and Alchohol supplied at the half way house by Mr Captain. The golf was played as always in great spirit with a lot of love shown on the course especially from Graham Hurst and Mario seen Hugging on the final green. Also a huge thanks to Our Greenkeeper Rick and his Team for presenting the course in such fantastic condition.
Garry who is obviously in good form will be competing again in the Senior Open Qualifying at Royal Porthcawl, after a great effort in qualifying last year at Carnoustie lets hope it can be more of the same this year but now he knows he can do it I hope he can go even better. Good Luck Garry !
Open Championship
Next week it's the Open at Royal Birkdale and I would like to wish good luck to our 67 Volunteers who are Marshalling for the week. If you are going you will see them on the 13th Hole in their HUGO BOSS!! Orange jackets and Hats, so make sure you behave yourself.
Birkdale is a very special place for me and I have had several messages this week from friends saying they saw me (briefly) on TV during an interview with Ian Baker Finch on Golfing World. We were walking up the 18th Hole in the 3rd round and it showed Baker Finch with his caddie Pete Bender and me with my Caddy the Legend Jimmy Fisher! Fantastic memories and really nice how many people took an interest, 1991 seems like a few weeks ago!
