PAST CAPTAINS DAY

Our past Captains and present Captain had their annual golf day yesterday. The scoring was extremely good with two past captains playing below their handicap. Dawn Butchart had 43 stableford points which equates to a gross score of 69. This scores breaks the course record however as the competition was non counting (only 13 clubs) it will not be recorded. Wilma Nicoll also had a great score of 40 stableford points.
The Captains also had a lovely meal followed by prizegiving.
