Seniors Past Captains Cup
Thursday 10th October 2019
The annual competition for the Past Captain's Cup took place on Thursday 10th October.
The nine Captains who were able to make the golf met at 9.00 am for a coffee, order their lunchtime fare and have a chat. After some confusion the mighty nine made their way to the 10th tee to play the back 9. Many thanks to the SMUGS for allowing our three 3 balls to go off together. The weather was ideal for some good golf to be played and the past captains did not disappoint.
Current Captain Kim led the way with a chip in birdie on the 10th followed by a par on the 11th, but Ash was not to be outdone, with birdies on the 11th and 15th puting himself in the lead by 1 and 3 shots over Kim and Dave, respectively, after 6 holes. A strong finish by both Dave and Kim, together with a lapse by Ash on the 16th closed the gap. Kim snatched the victory with pars on both the 16th and 17th, with Dave securing 3rd place with pars on the 17th and 18th.
Final results are as follows:-
Winner Kim Hansen 22pts
Runner Up Ash Patel 21
Dave Watt 20
Chris Vander 19
Allan Appleby 17
Peter Crutchett 15
Les Polden 14
Brian Elsworth 14
Roger Tallentire 12
Congratulations to all on a most enjoyable mornings golf.
Mike Trett, George Fox, Peter Musgrove and Ken Clay were able to join us for lunch, served in the Terrace Room which afforded us the luxury of some privacy, away from the madding crowd, to continue to chat over old times and new. It was particularly enjoyable to see both Peter and Len again, who we don’t see that often.
Looking forward to next year already.
