| Eddy, Winner of the 2017 Captain's Trophy |
One of the highlights of the year is Captain’s Day. We had maximum
attendance competing for numberous prizes and, of course, the Captain’s Trophy.
An added bonus on the day was the half-way house providing delicious savories
and cakes which gave us the much needed energy for the back 9. Those of us who teed off early, were lucky
and escaped the downpour later on.
However, the heavy rain did not deter Eddy who bravely soldiered on and
his persistance was rewarded. He was the
winner of the Captain’s Trophy with a magnificient 42 points. Many congratulations!
The presentation of the prizes took place the following Saturday at
the Captain’s Dinner at the Bonalba Golf Club Restaurant. Thank you Gordon, for arranging a most
enjoyable evening. During the evening, we found out that Gordon is not only a
very capable Captain but he is also an accomplished musician. His daughter, her
band and Gordon on the piano got us all up on to the dance floor and a good
time was had by all.
