Captains' Drive-in 2012

In sunny, but cold conditions, Freshwater Bay Golf Club’s new captains hosted their first engagement in their captaincy year on Sunday 15th January 2012, with the captains’ drive in.

The incoming Club Captain, Ray Cooke, ,ladies’ captain Maureen Couse, seniors captain Richard Couse and junior captain David Hartley all played shots towards the 18th green, with Maureen showing the men how it should be done by putting her ball to within 10 feet of the pin.

Preceding the drive in, over 50 golfers took part in a 10 hole competition. The men’s division saw last year’s senior Captain Paddy Hodgson come 2nd on 19 points, beating 3 others with his better back 9, but the winner on 20 points was Jim Payne. Miles Oldershaw won the nearest the pin.

The Ladies nearest the pin was won by Lucy Burke with her mother, Paula picking up 2nd place in the Ladies 10 hole competition. Beating Paula by 1 point with a winning score of 18 points was Liz Morris.

During the presentation of the prizes, Ray Cooke thanked the club’s members for supporting the event, and wished everyone well for the 2012 golfing season.
