Came Down Golf Club held their annual drive-in for golf captains last Saturday.
As the weather held, the Drive-In took place after members played in a fun four-ball event, a yellow ball competition.
The winners with 117 points were Matthew Roberts, Dave Allen, Roger Chadwick & Jake Goggin.
Runners up with 115 were Robbie Rolls, Mark Bonnett, Jason Govier & Phil Hutchings and in third, Dominic Simons, Stephen Broadhurst, Ian Davies & Jackie Fuggle with 113 points.
The members were then invited to guess the length of the drives of each of the captains.
Driving first was the ladies’ captain, Gill Smith who reached 131 yards. She was followed by junior captain Jason Emerton, with 195 yards, then the seniors’ captain, Martin Aylett, with a drive of 232 yards.
Finally, club captain, David Constant, who incidentally had to traditionally use a wooden headed club presented to the club in its centenary year in 1996, by the then club captain Ian Clark.
This appeared to hamper the new captain though and his drive was somewhat curtailed, only reaching 87 yards, which caused great amusement from the numerous spectators.
The members who guessed correctly were Mary Crampton, John Lake, Robert Mowbray & Alan Stickley respectively.
