Captain's Day

The annual Captain's Day event was held yesterday in "not very summery" conditions.This is a day dedicated to charity and we managed to raise £662 pounds in total. In memory of Wendy Seymour, £170 will go to the Rarer Cancer Foundation from selling Dan's Pro drive on the 13th hole. The rest of the money will go to Action for Children and was raised from a raffle, balloon surprise, captain's charity parking space and putting & chipping competitions.
In the main competitions, John McCartney won the men's category with Jon Miller in runners-up spot followed by John Butcher. For the ladies, Kim Richardson was triumphant followed by Sandra Chamberlain and Sam Whiting in third spot. Full details - click here.
The Men's longest drive was won by Carl McCartney.
The Ladies longest drive by Fay Unsworth.
Men's nearest the pin by Chris Adlem.
Ladies nearest the pin not awarded as no-one was on the green!
Putting competition went to Chris Adlem.
Chipping competition to Bob Stevenson.
Captain's charity parking space was won by John Baron.

ooooOOOoooo

The rain didn't spoil Captain's Day. Although we all got wet, I didn't hear one member moan, in fact we had a few laughs along the way. Jim Green being robbed at every turn, Bob Stevenson weighing up the chipping green, taking several practice swings then promptly rolling his ball into the hole, Chris Adlem rolling or was it whacking a 30 foot putt into the hole to win the putting competition and Jon Miller having drips on his drips!

All in the name of charity and friendship, Maria & I would like to thank each and everyone of you for the support and friendship shown during our time as Captains, it rained all day but it didn't stop us.

We would like to thank everyone who helped us along the way, including the bar staff, club shop, green keepers, committee & Andrew Buchanan for his help with the score cards.

A special thanks to Maria from myself for all the hard work done behind the scenes.
John Graham.
