Virtual Drive-In
You’ve got to empathise with our Club Captains trying to fulfil their official duties and leading the club, in the teeth of an unprecedented worldwide pandemic!
They say that ‘enterprising people adapt to change’ and this is certainly the case with Captain Pat and Lady Captain Danielle who have been hard at work trying to catch-up on the usual calendar of club activities to get the club back to some sort of normality and rhythm.
Captains’ Drive-In is the official start of the year and also when the Captains’ announce the good causes they want to support. Last November we were locked down so no chance to do either.
But the Captains have come up with a solution – a virtual drive-in.
VIP Parking Space
It’s a much loved tradition that members try to guess the cumulative distance driven by the Captains.
Recently Pat and Danielle both drove-off on a chilly and blustery day and the distances were secretly recorded.

A competition entry board has been created and is now in the pro shop for members to make their guesses on the combined distance driven. The member guessing the correct distance or the closet will win the VIP CAR PARKING PLACE for the year.
The proceeds will go to good causes: Lady Captain has nominated Blythe House as her charity and Mr Captain has chosen to raise money to improve the disabled facilities in the club.
As a clue to help you guess, both captains got their drives away – so 67 yards into the rough won’t win anything!
Distance Chart now available in Pro Shop
All you need to do is fill your name and mobile number in the box that represents your guess at the COMBINED DISTANCE both Captains achieved and pay for your guess.
The cost is just £2 or you could have three guess for £5.
