Captains drive in July 26th 2021. Report from Dave Palferman.

The Captains Drive-In took place on Saturday 26 July. Unfortunately, due to numerous delays due to the poor weather earlier in the year, combined with Covid-19 restrictions, it was not possible to have the traditional shotgun start. However, that did not deter the many members who participated in the competition. A few lucky members witnessed the Captains drive with a very dodgy driver provided by your Vice-Captain, Don Wraight. Surprisingly, I did mange to hit the ball, even though the ball finished near the 15th green! My formal drive missed the fairway on the left but given the audience I was pleased it was in bounds. Thanks to all those who participated in the competition, your support was greatly appreciated by Lady Captain and myself. The competition was won by an incredible score of 46 Stableford points. A special thanks for Mark and his crew for presenting the course in such a fantastic condition. Going forward, Captains Day will be held on Saturday 10th July. There will be prizes for Ladies, Men and Seniors, plus various optional competitions. There will also be a raffle in aid of the Alzheimer’s Society. All prize donations for this worthy cause will be greatly accepted. If you want to play on the day, sign up quickly as places are limited. Thanks in advance for your support.
