It rained, it rained and then it rained some more. Having enjoyed Men’s Captains Day in glorious sunshine the day before with only sun factor 15 protecting me from the elements, the boys needed umbrellas, gloves and wet weather gear to give them half a chance against the cold, wet and windy conditions. But compete they did and on a day that I am sure most of them would have preferred to be at home, the turnout was excellent, with an encouraging complement of 25 juniors enjoying (sic) the day out.
My thanks to Margaret Austin, Evelyn Ward, Noreen Cole, Kate & Dave Price and Steve Harris who were all on hand to ensure the day went without a hitch.
The Prize Table, too, grabbed a lot of attention and my sincere thanks to the following members who have keenly and very generously supported this section of the club. Tony Cain, Tony Bennett, Gillian & Walter Johnson, Kate & Dave Price, Claudine & Graham Tate, Mary & Brian Starkey, Dick Rogers, Barry Potter, Debbie & Doug Chalmers, Julian Richards, Darren Charlton & Margaret Austin, The members too rallied to the cry from Ashleigh Adams on Captain’s Day by digging deep to the tune of £507.80. Quite simply the junior section could not run events of this quality without this generous support so our sincere thanks to everyone. A half dozen adult members were on the 1st tee sheltering behind their umbrellas to show their support and watch the spectacle too. My thanks to them for braving the elements.
The overall winner of the Junior Captains prize 2011 was Luke Bisset who scored 34 points. Luke is pictured here receiving the trophy and prize from Junior Club captain Tom Howson.
