Captains Day
Saturday 9th August saw the 2014 Brampton Park Captain's Day take place. This year the competition ran alongside the Captain's Driver and was a full handicap Stableford event with the winner qualifying for the Masters.
Thankfully following a deluge of rain, the day before we were blessed with sunshine and good weather all day and my thanks go to our head green keeper for getting up early on Saturday morning to ensure the greens, course and bunkers were fit for play. The course was again in excellent condition.
With a good entry play started just before 9a.m. and the winner of the competition was Stuart Miller with 42 points followed by Master Sam Sheldon with 39 and Richard Goodwin in third place with 38 points on countback.
Nearest the pin prizes:-
4th for division one players: David Bartlett.
7th for juniors: Danny Pedlar.
12th for Division 2 players: John Topping
15th for Division 3 players: Paul Vella.
Nearest the line on the 18th: Vince Davies.
Nearest the Pin in 2 shots on the 18th: Stuart Miller.
Winner of the junior event: Master Thomas Sheldon with 36 points.
Over 65's best score: David Bartlett with 34 points.
Two guest competitors also played during the day and it was nice to see both Stuart Gallagher and Brian Gill playing.
A running hog roast was available from 1300 hours and thanks to Rory our chef for getting up at the crack of dawn to get the hog roasted.
Thanks also to Bill Evans, Alisdair Currie and his team in the pro shop, Sarah and her staff in the restaurant and Dave Humphreys and Chris Cuthbert for doing the admin and score entries in helping to make the day an enjoyable one and I hope all those entered enjoyed the day even if for some the golf was difficult.
