Captains Drive In

 

Hello everyone

 

The annual Captains vs Vice Captains match which marks the start of the golf season is due to take place on Saturday 27th March.  This year will be a little different, but hopefully the spirit of the day will still prevail.

 

The selling of flags for the Captains’ charities will be a bit different. Instead of flags being put out onto the first fairway a picture of the first fairway (and rough) with a marked grid square will be used.  The process will be to pick a square or preferably, several squares, then put your name against the corresponding line on the name sheet.  A squares sheet is available for both Captains and a prize for each will be presented once the Captains have driven off.

 

The competition will be played throughout the morning. Players are asked to book in online.  Please note in Booking Zone 1 (08:30 to 09:30) we have 24 spaces for players who due to restrictions can only play in 2 balls with the draw being made manually by the Captains on Thursday.  In booking Zone 2 ( 09:37 to 13:00) again the draw will be made manually and in either 3 or 4 balls for members from P&K county.  Alternatively, a sign-up sheet has been placed in the Starter Cabin in which to add your name to the list, please add your name to the proper zone.  If you can’t get to the club before, then please drop Norman Dyce and e mail where he will add you to a booking zone. If you wish to play in your bubble please let us know and we will accommodate you.

The competition will be an individual non counting stableford.  Players can choose which tee they play from, White, Yellow or Red.  Players must mark on their scorecard the tees they played from.  All players must mark a scorecard, there is no need to swap cards, put your playing partner name at the top in Player A with your name in Player B.  The marker of the card should only put their score in the Markers Column. A committee member will be at the 18th green to take your total points and add it to the team you are representing

 

Both Captains will be at the new Starter Cabin to welcome everyone onto the tee from 08:30. After your round of golf a hot filled roll and a hot beverage will be available courtesy of the club, the Captains will take your order before starting your round.

 

This is our long-awaited opening day of the 2021 season, let’s have fun and enjoy the day.

Regards
