CAPTAINS SHIELD REPORT

OTHERWISE KNOWN AS 3 CLUBS AND A PUTTER

The Captains Shield event was preceded by the Captains Drive In to represent the start of their playing year. Between them, they managed to Drive 254 yards with the Ceremonial Drivers that sit on the wall by the Captain’s name boards in golf reception. Richard Ewen was most pleased as he had the nearest guess in the sweepstake of 255 yards.

The main competition was, unfortunately, delayed by fog for over an hour, but once we got underway 72 players armed only with 3 clubs and a putter, set about the challenge of taming the course.

Once again, the course was presented by the Greenkeepers to a high standard and set a fair challenge to all players.

Many players commented if only I had taken a seven iron instead of a six iron, life would have been a lot easier!
