Men's Club Captain Report
Dear Members,
|
|
|
 Irish Stableford. Last week we played the Irish Stableford. David Hand had the best score of the day with 85 points. Well done David.
Also, up for grabs was a Vault 21 voucher for best dressed. While the men didn’t put up much of a show the ladies did, especially the 'Green Team' of Chris, Tina, Jenny, and Lee-Ann, shown here.
There can be only one winner and that was Jenny Soper, but she has decided to share the voucher with the rest of the team.

 A Special Birthday!
Graeme Harford celebrated his 90th birthday this week with the Wednesday golfers
Graeme is one of our Life Members and has been doing the handicapping and results twice a week for longer than most of us can remember.
Congratulations Graeme, and thank you for all your work sorting everyone’s cards and mistakes and dealing with the quirks of dotgolf, the scanner, etc for so many years while still smiling.
