Captain's Blog, 17th December 2024

Golf can be very frustrating at times, no less so for me this weekend, where after having possibly my best ever round on Friday, it was swiftly followed by one of my worst on Saturday. Though as Danny always says, go out there with the intention of just enjoying the round.

After golf on Friday, I had my second Christmas meal with a group of friends as we do every year, and once again it was a superb Christmas Spread, then I was back at the Club Saturday evening for the Club Christmas Party. The food and the company was excellent, and there was a disco and photo booth afterwards. It was fantastic to see so many people with a real buzz around the place. Debbie and Roy and their teams did a fabulous job to make sure it all ran smoothly.

Saturday’s competition was well contested with forty players entering across both divisions. Conditions were a little tricky, and this showed with only three players hitting handicap or better. Another win in Division 1 for Asa Lowther with 38 points and the lowest gross of 75, Division 2 was won by Andrew Gerrard with 36 points, congratulations to all.

Division One results (points)

Asa Lowther (38) Lowest Gross 75

Mike Stainton (36)

Des Denning (34)

Division Two results (points)

The Next Fourball draw will be January 5th.

Danny and I are very much looking forward to playing our Captain and Pro Challenges, which will culminate with whichever pair manages to beat us by the biggest margin, being invited to play a rematch at Royal Cromer Golf Club. Please email Danny or me and we can book you in.

As we are now underway for the season, a reminder that the 13th is the Captain’s Charity Hazard. If you go into the water then a donation into any of the buckets around the clubhouse will be gratefully received, if like me that does happen a little too often! Then an idea to see you through the year could be a one-off donation via the JustGiving Page of £10.

Happy Golfing.
