Captain's Blog, 1st April 2025

A great weekend of golf this week. The course is transforming as the sunny conditions continue. Saturday’s qualifier saw some very good scores with eight players of 69 bettering their handicap, the overall winner was Daniel Smyth coming out on top beating Steve Doherty on countback with 42 points and winning Division Two. Division One was won by Oz Hassan with 39. Congratulations to all.

Friday night was the third and final round of the Quiz League, which once again was a super evening even though our team only came 5th.

Sunday and Monday was our Pro’s Away Trip, which was this year held at Dale Hill Golf Club. Danny did a fantastic job of organising the trip once again, and it was made even better for me by the captain’s team beating the pro’s team over the two days by one point! A great event with great company. Look out for news of next years trip, they are not to be missed.

Booking is now open on IG for Captain's Charity Day on May 5th. If anyone is able to donate any raffle prizes or premium lots for the charity auction, please do reach out. Whatever you can donate will be greatly received for a fantastic cause. More info to follow in due course.

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 myself and we can book you in.

This coming Sunday is the Four Ball Draw, it would be great to see as many of you as possible, please sign up on IG and aim to get to the club for 8am for pre-draw refreshments.

A bit of a nag again. Please remember to repair pitch marks and divots - this helps enormously with the repair of the course and greens if done straight away. Also, as the hut is self-service on a Saturday for the time being, please leave it as you wish to find it, unfortunately it’s becoming messier every week and if it can’t be kept clean, we will have to keep it closed.

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.
