CAPTAIN’S DRIVE IN REPORT

The new year saw a new Captain drive in at Newmarket Links Golf Club. Last year’s Club Captain Dave Tyers handed over to Gerry Bangs who drove off the 1st tee to mark the new year. Gerry, who lives in Bottisham, has been a member for 15 years and plays off 21 handicap. Dave Tyers presented Gerry with the club’s green blazer and tie, given to each Captain for his year.

Also driving in were Ladies Captain Alie Tyers who takes over from Hilary Radford and was presented with a special brooch and Junior Captain Mark Bloxham who takes over from Henry Ellis.

During 2009 the Captain’s charities raised £12,000 for St Nicholas Hospice and Crossroads for Carers. Gerry Bangs and Alie Tyers announced they would support Help for Heroes and MacMillan Cancer Care as their charities.

After the presentations the Captain’s hit their tee shots from the 1st tee. The Captain was dressed in top hat and tails, and Alie who is Dutch was wearing her national dress. Members were offered a traditional beef stew and dumplings for lunch after the drive in.
