Captains Day | Heydon Venerables

A well supported Venerables Captain’s Day was held on Friday 23 of July.

Conditions were perfect which reflected on some excellent scores. After the competition the Ven’s gathered in the clubhouse and were treated to one of Mrs A’s famous curries.

Captain Steve presented the winners with prizes and David Soanes presented the Victor Soanes Cup to overall winner Martin Lane who came in with an impressive score of 42 stableford points

43 players set out and even though they endured a couple of short bouts of moisture and ‘wind’ all finished in good spirits, though maybe not all with scores like the leaders in the 40’s or high 30’s.

As ever Mrs A did us proud with one of her sumptuous buffets which gave us sustenance to endure the shouts of jealous derision as the better prizes are claimed during the scrum we call the raffle.

Thanks to Bernard Brown and impresario Dave Watts for organising a splendid event, David Baker and Alan Parkes for extracting ‘fivers’ for an excellent raffle, and Andrew Wyatt for his phtographic skills.

Overall an enjoyable and well deserved salute to our captain Richard.
