May we wish you all the best for the coming year. 

   

   

Drive In Report from David Bartlett 
Captains' Drive-In 2015 

As I went round the clubhouse bar, men's changing room and carpark I found that everyone responded very cheerfully to my requests for contributions to the Captains Drive-In Sweep - and gave very generously. What I had expected to be a dull task became a pleasure. I guess that over the years John Topping and previous Vice Captains have trained everyone up for this and people know what to expect… 

What was special for me was the openness and sense of inclusion that everyone showed in their desire to support our club - although I have to say that on each and every occasion I suffered a certain amount of challenge and banter before I was given any cash. I met some new faces and those that are newer members were all without exception very happy to be included in the club and playing golf on our course. 

In short - there is a great sense of membership and team spirit at Brampton Park. 

In total the four Captains drove 843 yards - and there were only two winners with that exact yardage. 

Well done - George Nichols and Kevin Wright who each win £155.75 . £311.50 now goes to the Captain's Committee funds. 

Finally a word of thanks to June Cowper for her help and encouragement. 

Thanks everyone, 

David Bartlett 
Vice Captain
