We were blessed with some beautiful weather and some equally great golf for Lady Captain’s Day 2021 on Wednesday 14^th July.

There was a great turnout for the shotgun start, Lady Captain, Elaine King, greeted all players on the 7^th tee with refreshments of punch and snacks which went down a treat.

The course was in fantastic condition and a big thank you to Scott and his team along with the many helpers for their efforts, lots of compliments were made by the ladies on the day.

Afternoon tea was provided to all by Lady Captain in the clubhouse after all rounds had been completed, which again, was very welcomed indeed.

The evening started with a warm welcome from Deborah and her team serving bubbles followed by a lovely meal prepared by Dave and served by his team, setting us up nicely for the announcement of the results and the presentations to follow.

Saturday 10th  July started off bright and sunny with nearly every available tee slot booked and everyone’s expectations high. Scott and his team, along with several helpers from the membership, had set the course up beautifully.

As is tradition, the Captain provided a drinks tent with food and drinks on the 9th and Dave, Deborah and the gang were ready to greet the golfers and their families as they finished.

Everything was set for a great day’s golf – if only the weather would be kind. The early starters got the best of it with some very heavy rain showers rolling through in the afternoon.

Despite the rain, some great scores were posted.

The result was very close with the result being decided by a card play-off:-

1^st Place                  James Wall 79 – 14 for 65 (27 back 9)

2^nd Place                 Chris Mannion 89 – 24 for 65 (30 back 9)

3^rd Place                 Steven Rimmer 81 – 16 for 65 (31 back 9)

Lowest Gross        Craig Hurley 70

Past Captains and Directors Prize   Ian Thompson 76 – 8 for 68

Thank you to those who served refreshments in the drinks tent, to Deborah and the bar staff, and to Dave and the catering staff. Thanks go also to all the greens staff and their helpers, and to the Directors and other members who made the day such a success!

Ben Johnson, Captain 2021.
