On Thursday evening, the nominated captains for 2020 were announced to be Jonny Yates and Irene Kirk. I think I can speak on behalf of all of us and say that they are a very popular choice and we wish them all the best for their year at the helm!
Earlier on in the day, Michele Rea won the 18 hole stableford with 33 points. Min Fishwick was second, three pints adrift. Sally Wright won the nine hole event with 14 points. So well played Michelle and Sally.
Jan Ravenscroft also won a prize…. but not on this occasion for her golf! It was for the best photo in Lady Captain’s charity calendar. If you’ve not seen it, you’ll need to buy a copy of the calendar to help the cause!
The Social Committee with the help of Tiff Fielden have produced a handy flyer which can be collected from the bar or noticeboard in the hall. The below photo is of the front cover so you know what you’re looking for. It details the Club’s Social Events up to and over the Christmas period and New Year’s Eve. Please help yourself and keep up to date with all the wonderful forthcoming functions.
On Saturday, the gentleman Captain ran a putting competition for a bit of fun for members who aren’t able to get out on the course so much these days – that said it didn’t stop Jonny Yates and Jonny Gray taking part!! The winner of the nearest the pin which was a 55 foot long putt was John Hughes who’s ball finished just 12 inches from the hole – using a putter he bought from yours truly…… just saying!! Jonny Yates and Brian Twiss were the winners of the nine hole prizes. Predictably John Bacon and Jim Mossop were first out and first back to the bar!
I’m looking forward to going on holiday for five nights over half term. As things are quietening down, the shop will be operating under reduced hours and Phil will be at the helm as follows:
| Monday 21 October | 0930 – 1330 |
| Tuesday 22 October | 0930 – 1330 |
| Wednesday 23 October | 0930 – 1330 |
| Thursday 24 October | 0830 – 1400 |
| Friday 25 October | 0930 – 1330 |
And to finish with, I found this message to golfers whilst on my travels on the internet and liked it so hope you do too!
