Captains Drive-in at Ufford Park

Published:

On an overcast and tough windy spring morning, members of Ufford Park GC, Suffolk, turned up to welcome 2011’s Club Captains to the club for their Annual Drive-In.

Club Captain Nigel Sage, Ladies Captain Wendy Hayes and Junior Captain Oliver Hammond all hosted a team stableford competition for the club members on what turned out to be a memorable day.

 

The winners of the best 2 out of 3 stableford scores competition, with a great total of 83 points was Hilary Bidewell, Steve Law and Ivan Catling. Second were Josh Crane, Alan McMillan and Rex Taylor with 79 points, with the team of Sue Meecham, Ian Wheeldon and Richard Wright in third place on 77 points.

There was also a separate prize for the yellow ball competition, which was won by Roz Lever, Piers Button and George Butters with 26 points on countback.

This year Nigel will be raising money for Genesis Orwell Mencap, a charity that cares, supports and trains people with learning and physical disabilities whilst Wendy has chosen the Royal National Lifeboat Institution as her selected charity.

A guess the Captain’s Drive Distance competition and a raffle were both organised to help raise money towards both of these charities.
