With conditions near on perfect, FBGC Captain Ray Cooke hosted his captain's day on Saturday. With punishing rough to go with slick greens the scores were nevertheless very good.
The best junior prize was decided on countback, with Sam Barber coming out on top over Josh Macgregor. In the Ladies, Elaine Hunter was the early pace setter, but in the very final group of the day Di Clark scored a brilliant 40 points to secure victory.
The men's competition was a tight affair, with Kevin McArthur looking favourite to win it with 1 hole to go. However, after finding trouble on the last, his 39 points was only good enough for 3rd place, with Tony Keen pipping him on countback. One of the elder statesman of the field, Dennis Smith showed that age is no barrier to playing good golf, shooting a brilliant 40 points to win.
During the presentation Ray thanked the membership of Freshwater Bay for their support throughout the year. Dennis Smith thanked Ray for putting on such a well run event. Geoff Smith, FBGC Vice Captain, finished proceedings by wishing both Ray and his wife Ann a successful conclusion to his year as Captain.
