CAPTAIN'S DRIVE IN
Saturday was our official opening to the season 2007 and what a glorious day it was! Our Captains were there to greet 90 members with a very welcomed glass of Buzz Fizz then off we went to place our flags where we thought their drives would land!
Gent's Captain Jack Scott, Lady's Captain Jane Taylor, President Peter Tinker, Lady's Vice-Captain Rhona McGeoghegan and Gents Vice-Captain Lewis Duncan took a 'photo call' then it was time for the big 'Drive off' Both Jack and Jane played excellent shots off the tee to their huge relief I am sure! (However I am reliably informed they were also relieved that they did not get up close with the ducks!)
We then had a 'Shotgun Start' which was brilliantly organised by Marion and Iain our Mixed Convener's. David Norman kindly provided a very welcomed 'wee dram' at our half way house.
After our round we were all provided with a finger buffet which was excellent as always. Marion and Iain were kept very busy tallying up the scores on the board.
Peter Tinker said a few words to welcome the members and thanking the organisers then Iain Butchart announced the winners of the nearest the Captains Drives, Dave Findlay was nearest the Gent's Captain and Brian Park was nearest the Lady's Captain's.

Dawn Butchart was the winner of best lady with 39 points and Ian Taylor was best Gent with 42 points.
Then it was crunch time to find our who won were the winners of Pat's Putter and both Jack and Jane were delighted to lead the winning Captains Team.
A fantastic day was had by all the members with special thanks to the Centre for allowing a Shotgun start, to the catering staff and David Norman for his hospitality. To the two Captains for hosting the day. Also special thanks to the organiser's Marion and Iain who put a lot of hours into the event. To view more photos of the day click on this link:
