The Captains’ ‘Drive In’ took place recently. A full field of eighty eight players had a shotgun start.
Commiserations go to the unfortunate ladies team of Joan Stembridge, Lindsey Sloman, Marilyn Cole and Jan Hayward who drew the short straw and had to tee off on the furthest hole in the back field.
The Captains’ drives on the first tee set the pattern for the day with Sienna, Gwyn, Phil and Mike making everyone else look good by deciding to slice, duff, hook and top their drives.
The Club raised several hundreds of pounds for on-course projects. Winners on the day were Dave Hayward, Andy Williams, Steve Rowse and Ben Avis in first with eighty eight points. Second; Darren Barnett, Rory Passmore, Duncan Bratt and Bryn Ashton with eighty five points, third were Steve Jones, Martyn Pugh, Rhys Pugh and Dylan Pugh with eighty four points.
The three-ball Texas Scramble had a great turnout of thirty two teams. Winners in first were Stuart Davis, Sienna Elliott and Simon Elliott with fifty seven points, second came Mike McKay, Ken Mitchell and Graham Williamson with fifty eight and in third were Michael Blane, Aidan Guy and Simon Harris with fifty nine.
The first official club match of the 2023 Wells golf season saw the Stragglers take the trip over to Worlebury on a briskly chilly morning. We had many debut players, and we bid a warm welcome to all.
Stragglers captain Guy Timson and Donald Hudson led the match off and were four and three winners. Cath Level and Neil Kite won their match by the same margin but unfortunately all our other pairs didn’t fare as well, meaning we ended up going down 3-2.
The Stragglers is open to every member of the club so if you fancy a fun friendly competitive Sunday through the year please get in touch with Guy.
