Karen Batty and myself (Alan Key) were to tee off around 8:30am, play a round of golf together followed by around 30 or 40 other competition go-ers. Then we wanted to go back into the clubhouse, announce the results of the competition and winners of 20 free drinks and nibbles, and draw the raffle. Unfortunately because of the weather it happened like this - Drive off in the rain watched by around 25 members hiding under umbrellas, then head off playing 9 holes (we decided it was too rough to put people through 18) and by the 2nd fairway we had realised that absolutely no one had followed us... Can't say I blame them, it was freezing in that wind and rain! Anyway we valiantly battled on and proceeded to complete the 9 holes with no one else on the course, absolutely wet through to the skin and to top it off, Karen beat me! (I blame the weather, honest). |
So after an hour of drying off in the clubhouse, we - and around 20 patient members who had waited for us to come in - opened the buffet and enjoyed some well earned drinks. Overall a very enjoyable day for all, although had the weather been on our side it would have been even better - maybe next year please Mrs M. Nature?
Steve Young handed the captaincy over to myself and Rita Dent followed with Karen. Karen and I are really looking forward to this year of golf and are proud to be representing our club and we will do our best to make sure the members are getting the best out of their club and captains. Here's to 2010!
