Orchardleigh Golf Club recently held their traditional drive-in to officially welcome the three new Captains to their posts – Neil McGuinness as Club Captain, Jim Worsley as the Seniors’ Captain, and Lorraine Collings as Ladies’ Captain.
An impressive 24 teams of four took part in the nine-hole bowmaker competition, which commenced at 9.30 a.m. on a shotgun start. This was followed by a quiz and a one-course lunch before the drive-in.
The bowmaker competition, with three scores to count, was won on the front nine with sixty stableford points by Kevin Munday, Andy Sleeman, Steve Sleeman and Phil Alden. The back nine with 65 points was won by Stan Ford, Mark Ford, Matthew Litterick and Kalem Marsh.
The Ladies’ team prize was won by Anne Regler, Pat Jones, Jackie Pudney and Mel Sutherland with 43 points. The nearest the pin was won by Ollie Worts on the front nine and Mark Ford on the back nine. The winners of the drive-in were Marion Underhill (Ladies), Richard Fry (Seniors) and Mike Pinner (Men).
