Captain's Blog, 26th March 2024

Firstly, I would like to remind everyone, there is a new member referral scheme in place available to current members. For every new playing member you refer, you'll receive £100 on your card to spend on food and drink and event tickets. So, invite your friends, family, and colleagues to join the club and be rewarded. For more details speak to the office.

On Friday, I attended the third and final quiz of the Winter. Great fun was had by all of those who took part and after a nail-biting finish, the eventual winners were “The Usual Suspects” who edged the evening by a single point. Special mention also goes out to “The Traitors” who were the overall winners, in the three-game series. Thanks goes out to the Social Committee for assisting in the organisation of all the quiz evenings.

Despite the course drying out during the week, playing conditions over the weekend continued to be testing, and keeping the ball on the fairway remained essential if you intended to card a good score. The April Stableford was won by Rob Grover in Division One with 39 points and Andrew Gerrard in Division Two with 41 points. Both Rob and Andrew alongside David Jackland, who was the best placed runner up with 36 points, qualify for The Coronation Bowl, to be played later in the year.

On Sunday, the first mixed competition of the year - The Brasted Trophy, was contested by seventeen couples.  The eventual winners were Iain Lanario and Margaret Herlihy with a very creditable 36 points. Well done to all those who competed.
 

This coming Sunday, 31st March, we are going to play the April Fourball Draw!  The event has been bought forward a week due to the First Team playing at home in the Thornton Cup on Sunday, 7th April.  As playing conditions remain testing, we have decided to hold the event as a Texas Scramble again, which should prove to be another fun event. Sign up is now open via the IG App or website.

Have a good week.
