Successful Drive-In starts the 2010 season
Great weather gives us a great start
The 2010 season got off to a great start with the four Captains all making superb drives on Saturday 17th April 2010. The
President, Kate Stephenson, ran proceedings beautifully - introducing each of the Captains in turn.
Club Captain, Les Palmer, hit what he claims was his best-ever drive straight down the first sliding past the marker post, hitting the road and bouncing high on down the bank toward the stream. If not for the bevy of lads trying to catch the Captains' drives it would have finished up wet!
The Lady Captain, Muriel Forster, hit a lovely straight drive well down the fairway - despite complaining that she'd never hit one from so far back (all the drives were taken off the white tees, this year).
Stuart McDonnell, Senior Captain, hit his customary slash straight down the line (though he must have aged since last year - when he drove in as Club Captain) as he was nothing like as long this year!
Stuart is becoming a 'fixture' at the drive-in! Having played as Vice Captain, Club Captain and now Senior Captain - all in the space of 3 years!
Zach Walker sent his usual draw straight down the fairway with the casual nonchalance of youth. Long as Zach drives the ball, he still didn't get as far as the Captain did, though. Which is just as it should be!
