Lady Captain's Report, Captain's Day Format, 200 Club
Lady Captain's Day Report
Apologies, I omitted to include the Lady Captain's report from her Captain's Day on Tuesday, please see below:
What a fantastic day! From the laughs out on the course to the friendly competition, I hope everyone had a great day of golf.
My theme for the day was ‘By The Seaside’ and I would like to take a moment to appreciate those fabulous costumes. I absolutely loved seeing the creativity and spirit.
It truly takes a village to put these events together, and I’m so grateful for all the support behind the scenes. Whether you were setting up, organising, running around with last-minute bits, or just lending a hand when it was needed—you made the day what it was.
Special thank you’s go to:-
Steen and the amazing in-house staff. The afternoon tea was delicious. You really spoiled us.
Richard and James for all the admin and keeping things on track—your efforts definitely didn’t go unnoticed.
To the Pro Shop staff for their support and help.
Rob and the greens staff who had the course looking absolutely perfect.
Bob and Don for putting up the tent.
To my Committee for generously offering your time, energy, and ideas.
All those who came to wish me well.
Final, everyone who played in the competition. You all had smiles on your faces despite getting a little damp from the sharp shower about an hour into the competition.
There was a fair bit of “beg, borrow, and possibly steal” involved in making my day come together—and I’m beyond grateful for everyone’s generosity along the way.

Club Captain's Day - Tomorrow
Attached with today's latest news email is a copy of the rules/notes ahead of the Captain's Day competition tomorrow. This includes all the information you need to know about the format of the competition. If you are playing in the event, please familiarise yourself with this.
Captain's Day is always a slower round of golf than normal, thanks mainly to the multiple visits to the Captain's gazebo at the Halfway Hut. Please be prepared to be on the course for longer than usual.
There is a slot for one player at 10.52 tomorrow. If you would like to play, please add your name on the booking system or contact the office.
Raffle tickets will be sold throughout the day, please bring cash with you if you wish to purchase.
As per my email earlier in the week, the following items will be auctioned tomorrow night. You can email us with details of your maximum bid if you aren't able to attend tomorrow night.
