Winner Algy Grimes receives a bottle of wine from organiser Richard Coventry
Six past Senior Captains, our current Captain and guests took part in this year's Past Senior Captains' Away Day at Whipsnade Park Golf Club.
As we played the first hole we observed a tall wire fence running the length of the fairway and wondered what kind of danger lurked next door at Whipsnade Zoo. Lions? Tigers? To our relief we found it was the deer park. In fact the only wildlife we saw was a muntjack deer and a couple of hares.
The winner, with 38 points, was Algy Grimes. Nearest the pin winner was Richard Westergreen-Thorne and nearest the pin in three on a par 4 was Bill Walker. Richard and Bill were presented with bottles of win by Fred Williams.
Among the more impressive shots of the day was Jonathan Lean's chip in for 2 on the par 3 17th.
The prize-giving took place following an excellent meal in the club's impressive restaurant which looks more like a Spanish Hacienda than a golf club. Those lucky enough to have won a place on the away day at Whipsnade in September have a treat in store.
Richard W-T thanked Richard Coventry for organising this event and other away days over recent years.
