CAPTAINS DRIVE IN

Saturday saw the official opening of Strathmore Golf Club for the 2006 season. 64 members turned out to see out Captains Annette Grewar and Jack Scott hit the first official drives of the season. Under extreme pressure they performed well and both hit drives up the fairway.


Annette and Jack on the Tee!

As always We each bought a flag and placed it where we thought Annette and Jack would land.


Jack tees off Knocking knees doesn't stop Annette hitting a great shot.

A Great Day was had by all and monies were raised for charity. Although the Captains started the day on a good note unfortunately they did not go on to win Pat's Putter. This was won for the first time since 1996 by the Vice Captains Team led by Jane Taylor and Lewis Duncan.

This was a great start to the season albeit we did suffer from heavy rain and hail storms. Everyone enjoyed the day and showed our support to our Captains.

Pete Tinker certainly put the icing on the cake when he aced his shot on the 13th. This was Pete's first ever hole in one. Pete celebrated his achievement by providing all with a welcolme drink. (Expensive day for a hole in one!!) Well done Pete.

We all now look forward to a super season. Well done Annette for a great start.
