Captain's Drive In

Saturday 4th April also saw the traditional Captain's drive in which took place off the 11th tee. Mr Captain Steve Collier struck what he thought was a good drive only for his ball to clatter into the trees on the left of the fairway and drop down a measly 132 yards away! It must be noted that Lady Captain Jean Warburton managed to hit her drive 197 yards off the 1st tee with a 3 wood only a couple of weeks before!
