New Captains

With incredible weather at the weekend, new Club Captain Kevin Lyons and Ladies Captain, April Glynn couldn't have asked for better. With many of the members at Orsett there to witness the "driving in ceremony" for the new captains to officially take the helm from past Captains, Andy Lee and Christine Gordon respectively. This was then followed by lunch and music, it felt more like a mid summers day rather than mid October! Both Captains are supporting St Lukes Hospice Charity this year, a place close to their hearts and kindly all the money raised on the drive in Tote was donated back for the charity by the winners. With a further raffle, a total of over £1,300.00 was raised to start the ball rolling for St Lukes on Sunday.

Kevin and April, have a wonderful year, I`m sure the members will get right behind you.

Wood you believe it…

Having not played a competitive round of golf for nearly 3 months, yours truly managed to win the recent Essex PGA Seniors Championship held at Woolston Manor. An event played alongside the Essex PGA Championship over 36 holes it was great to be back in the winner’s circle after quite a time lapse.

With the Members achieving so many successes this season both team and individually around the County it has been lovely to add to these at last. Thanks for all the congratulations, I hope the next one doesn`t take quite so long to mention!

Warm up area

For those of you who were unable to play this weekend, here`s the latest picture of the warm up area! The area is now just about ready for pouring the new concrete base for the 3 net system. It took three days to remove all the old netting, the excess soil to the right of the nets and of course the old concrete base that lay there.

It’s not too far away before they are re landscaped and ready for use again. Further updates on the improvements to follow shortly.
