CAPTAIN’S WEEKEND – 07 and 08 August 2010

Despite some less than promising weather on Saturday –drizzle turning to quite persistent rain and then finally improving for the late starters - a great time was had by all the 125 male members which included Juniors and five day members. Some fantastic scores  were recorded and as you can see from the photograph, members really got into the spirit of the day!

The format on Saturday was an individual Stableford off a three quarter handicap  which combined with some challenging pin positions made the winning scores  even more impressive. The winner, after a countback, was Jim Wharmby with 41 points, second was Chris Wood with Trevor Higginbottom a close third with 39 points, also after a back nine countback.

The annual charity golf day for 2010 was held at New Mills Golf Club on Friday 09 July. The event, now in its third year, for the Alan (Mick) Jones Memorial Trophy with all proceeds being split between Ashgate Hospice and Alzheimer's Society. The day was quite hot and humid so the light breeze was very welcome, with the course and especially the greens being complimented by competitors for being in very good condition.

An evening of rock with the Cans

Glorious weather for the Open Weekend

The Open Weekend was blessed with outstanding weather – clear blue skies and lots of warm sunshine although the strong wind on Saturday made playing conditions more difficult than on Sunday.

The Quad Am on Saturday was extremely well supported and was a very close affair with Junior captain Sam Shaw, Steve Price and Dave Bray finishing first with 85 points. One point behind, in second place was the team comprising Mr. Captain, Mike Wilson, John Read and Jon Swindells whilst 3rd place went to Gez Moran, Pat Walker, Clive Garside and another of our up and coming juniors, Jack Marshall.
