CAPTAINS DRIVE IN A HUGE SUCCESS Saturday was our 'Captain's Drive In' which is the official opening of the course for the season. 96 members took part on what was a very enjoyable day.
Our Captain Jane Taylor was more than a little nervous but stepped up to the challenge of teeing off in front of a band of spectators and hit her shot straight up the fairway. Well done Jane!!
Gent's Captain Lewis Duncan also managed to hide his nerves and hit his drive beautifully up the fairway.
After all the 'flags' were placed a total of £151.00 was raised for Captains Charity. The charity's are for Jane, Caring for Kids and Lewis, C.H.A.S. The winners of the Flags were for the Gents Drive, Lady Captain Jane's son Ryan and the winner of the Lady's Flag was Lee Bushby who kindly re donated his prize to the Captain's Charity.
After the Captains Drives, we made our way to our relevant Tee then Bernie blasted the Air Horn for our Shotgun start. Then the accumulative stableford points for the Captains Team and the Vice Captains Team were checked then placed on the board. It was an extremely close call right up to the last card the Vice Captains were winning by only 2 points. But when the last card came in the gap was widened by 6 points and the Vice Captains team were the winners of Pat's Putter.
Vice Captain Rhona McGeoghegan and Alan Christie very happy to be the owners of the Putter however although Rhona thanked her 'Team' she did suggest they all play for the Captains Team next year!!
A huge thank you go to Marion and Iain for once again organising a wonderful day. Thanks also to the centre for the food and hospitality and also for closing the course which enabled a Shotgun Start.
