SENIOR CAPTAIN’S DRIVE IN & DECEMBER MONTHLY STABLEFORD GAINSBOROUGH - 27TH NOVEMBER

Good Afternoon Seniors,

Once again, and rather disappointingly, it was necessary to cancel my drive-in. I would like to thank all those who made the effort to arrive early today and apologise for the wasted journey. The course was unplayable, with very little chance of a timely improvement. The decision to cancel was the only realistic option.

Hopefully, it will be third time lucky, for my new drive-in date. This will now be held as part of the Yuletide Scramble on December 11th. I intend to drive off, with the rest of my 4 ball team at 08.15. The shotgun start for the Yuletide competition will then follow at 08.30, once everyone has had the opportunity to reach their respective tees. All sweep guesses will continue to stand and it would be great to see as many of you as possible taking part in this competition; there are still plenty of spaces.

As a reminder, the Yuletide Scramble does not incur an entry fee, however, as usual, voluntary donations can be made to the Sudbury Storehouse Foodbank. Over the past years, we have managed to raise significant sums for this very worthy cause which helps those who are struggling and in need, particularly at this time of year. Once again, this effort is being coordinated by Roger Davies and donations can be made to his account, with details as follows:

                                                        R D J Davies

                                                    11-07-54 (Halifax)

                                                    Account 00201880

Please indicate ‘Foodbank’ on any transfers.

Roger is able to boost the payment with Gift Aid.

As Roger is currently convalescing from minor surgery, any cash donations can be made to myself, Kevin Price, whenever you see me around the club.

Hopefully, I have not jinxed the Yuletide Scramble by selecting this for my drive-in, maybe I should hold it at the end of my captain’s year, rather than the beginning!

Best wishes

Kevin Price

Senior Captain 2025
