Captain's Charity Day
What a day!
Hilary and Norman had arranged a pairs betterball competition with a shotgun start and it was brilliant to see the course absolutely full!
Everyone found it tricky with the ball running and I for one was very grateful to be in a buggy as it helped with ball spotting and finding!
Bunchy did the honours with the auction, setting and raising the bidding on rounds of golf at various places around the UK; a variety of meals; a golf lesson and Harry Hall's Hat among others!
There are pictures on Facebook I believe but I'm thrilled to say the day raised £2500 for Hils and Norm's charity 'We Are With You'. Awesome indeed!
Norman spoke of how the charity had been a great support to Katie.
For the first time ever there was a presentation of a Men's Charity Cup named in memory of Norm's great mate, Paul Ferris.
Winning prizes is unimportant compared with what life throws at us however
the Ladies Charity cup was won by Lyn and Sue D, with Claire and Ros in second place!
Lindsay 'I never get a two', got another two (the first one was yesterday!) this time on the 12th hole!
Longest drive on the 2nd and Nearest the pin on 4 I claimed! And Chris L claimed the one on the 3rd.
I cannot remember all the men's prizes but the inaugural Paul Ferris Trophy was awarded to Cyril and Robin. Well played boys!
A great barbecue was enjoyed on the terrace with live music from BandEkoot accompanied by lots of singing and dancing!
It was great to see old members and friends too.
A really special day... thank you Hils and Norm.
