Mens’ Vice Captain’s Day on a sunny Saturday 5th June
It was heartening to see so many ladies supporting this event, and Gary Barton, the Captain was extremely pleased, so much so, that soon after play had started he decided to introduce a longest drive for the ladies, which was extremely fair considering that most of us would not be able to compete with the men on this score, even though they were off the whites!
***Memorable Golfing Moments ***
This has to go to Annie Hooper, our lady captain this month. I understand that Annie was playing with a friend at Feldon Valley Golf Club when, to her delight, she achieved a ***HOLE IN ONE*** on one of the par threes. Congratulations Annie , and it must be doubly rewarding for you to have achieved this in your busy captaincy year.
Lady Vice Captain’s on Sunday 23rd May
Thank you to all who were able to support my day

***Memorable Golfing Moments - Best par I have ever seen on the lst hole*** Carol’s shot off the tee was quite long but the wind blew it off course !! and it finished up in the red lateral water hazard near to the concrete water drain just before the bunker. Ever the optimist, Carol fancied playing it out, but sadly drove it up the water drain. Down on hands and knees to retrieve the, by then, much maligned ball, she then decides to be sensible and take the drop! Grabs her six iron, and with the adrenalin pumping, cracks the ball down to the green, where it lands on the fringe and gently rolls and rolls and rolls - right into the hole - to give her her par – to loud applause from her playing partners. Carol left the green with the biggest grin I have ever seen. Just goes to show that you never know when the golfing Gods will turn up to give you encouragement! Great shot and par Carol – always to be remembered as a fantastic golfing moment.
