Venue : Bonalba Golf &Spa, Wednesday, 5 February 2014.
Today we had the Drive-in of our newly elected Captain, Graham Sutton. We all had at bet as to where his drive was going to land. Lucky Elwyn Price guessed correctly that it would land a good distance in the rough left of the fairway and won the jackpot. We then proceeded to play the competition. To celebrate the occasion, our new Captain had decided to give out more than the usual amount of prizes. There were prizes for the team event which was the three best results on each hole. There were also prizes for the best individual Stableford results for women and men, longest drive men and women and the usual nearest to pins.It had been an excellent turn-out and we all thoroughly enjoyed the game, especially as we were spurned on by an excellent half-way house. Many thanks to Hazel, Rose, Karine and Christiane for looking after our well-being by providing us with delicous food and drinks. It was very much appreciated.
After the prize giving, the members and guests sat down to a very enjoyable lunch at the Bonalba Golf Club restaurant.. All in all a wonderful day. Thank you Graham and your helpers for organising it and we wish you all the best for your year of Captaincy!
