CAPTAINS-CHARITY-OPEN-2023.pdfNotes on Meeting between Matt Wake and the Director of Golf
Dear members,
Matt Wake met with the DOG on 11 July 2023 and has sent the following notes on the meeting which we are now publishing on the website.
Matt's addtioan comments are as follows:
Quote:
Further to minute 6 of your 20th June Committee Meeting, I attach a filenote of the meeting I held with Adam. You will see from the text that my hands were rather tied behind my back insofar as Adam had already set the new terms of 2023.
Notwithstanding the fact that it would have been far preferable for Adam to first flash his suggestions across the Committee (or to involve Sam Lawson who raised the matter at the AGM), I nevertheless feel that Adam has done all he believed he could. Perhaps, if these deals are renewed next year, the Committee can involve itself at an early stage to assist Adam with renewal terms that might sit better with our Platinum/Gold members.
I presume, and hope, that you will circulate this filenote to your Committee and upload it to the website for members to view.
Cheers,
Matt

Captain’s Shootout Results
Dear members,
On Friday, June 16th we had the 2023 Captain's Shootout.
The shootout started at 15:00. It took about 20 minutes to play the first hole and was at times absolute mayhem. So the ladies teed off at about 15:20.
12 men battled over 9 holes. The first hole had a 3 man playoff and only 1 could go though. There were playoffs on 5 of the 9 holes. The final 2 left standing on the last tee box were Johnny Howse and Boyd Ranwell. Both players were in trouble on the hole and both managed to make bogies.so a playoff was required to determine the winner. In the playoff, Johnny hit a nice little pitch shot from short right of the green that did not check enough and ran out to about 10 ft. Boyd hit a nice chip that pitched in the fringe and over-checked leaving him about 20 ft away. So Johnny emerged victorious.
It should be noted that Johnny was the lowest handicap golf and as such teed off first on every hole..He had a very steady 9 holes apart from the 4th where he had a double and was in a 3 man playoff.
11 Ladies battled over 9 holes. On the final tee, the last 2 players were Iona Elliott and Gali Cattermole. Both tied on the last hole and they were give a very difficult chip on the downslope of the far left hand bunker. Iona bounced her chip though a bunker to about 30 ft.. Gail hit a very nice chip it ot about 20 ft and was victorious..
