Captains Day had its
moments.
David Gauge our Vice
captain and organiser for the day had his work cut out as he had to deal with
absentees prior to the day. I was on holiday for the fortnight, Michael was on
holiday and came back the morning of the day and Simon is off ill. To top it all
the day before was a bank holiday Monday and nobody could be reached so Tuesday
morning was hectic to say the least. My thanks goes out to our ladies Captain
Sue who mustered 5 of her ladies to hand out the cards and sell the raffle
tickets, starters on the tee's and the putting competition Well done
Ladies..
I had the honour of
playing with the club Captain Stuart Gardner and Bill Burrows. We had a really nice day
great company but not so good golf. The weather stayed dry and the course was as
good as it could be with the recent weather leaving its mark.
I had a lovely surprise
when I came in to the dining room, Ladies Captain Sue had a lovely cake waiting
for me and a wee bottle of whisky in a tartan box along with a card showing a
train a Spitfire and Hurricane fighter planes and an MG sports car.
What I didn't know that the train was the Flying Scotsman which was the whole point of the card.my
profound apologies Sue for being a thick Jock but much appreciated the gesture.
We had several skill
prizes 4 nearest the pins and the putting competition.
The nearest the pin
winners were Pat Gilgallon on the 4th, John Sandland on the
10th,
Fred Cox on the 16th
This one was very close. Jim McIlwaine on the
11th with the nearest the pin in 2. Last but not least the
evergreen Mr Allan Fowler took the putting competition with 19 points. For the main competition the top three were;-
.
In 3rd place was Graham Lewis (above) with 40 points and cut 1.8
Second place was Grahame
Berry (above) also with 40 points and cut 2.0
The winner on the day
was Brian Bullen (above) with an astounding 43 points .cut 2.4.
Brian gave a very
complex reason for his mystical return to form, it had something to do with
being hit by a tuk-tuk, I think that is a foreign tricycle taxi and a physio with
magic hands. All I can say is that I am looking for the same magic at the match
with Letchworth when he is my partner. Well done Brian and all the other
winners.
All in all I had a great
day and hope you all did to.
Your Captain
Jim Jock.
