2010 Golf Day Report
Fantastic weather greeted the 34 teams of golfers at Hainsworth Park,
Brandesburton for our 15th Annual Golf Day
Bananas & photo,s on the 1st Tee set
many off into the trees!. Numerous players admitting it was a year since
they last held their clubs in anger!- some excuse…
Half Way House hospitality proved as popular as
ever – stocking up on more calories ready for the back nine “burn off”
and a chance of a prize – or maybe a win on the raffle was the more
realistic expectation.
The all 3 to count holes especially the notorious
15TH Pond Hole again got the blood boiling over in the
increasing heat of the day. Some even managed double figures there as
the water claimed its usual fair share of new “Nikes”.
Early Guiness drinkers found the course challenging
with reports of mature oaks moving around as they lined up there next
shot!- still it’s a great day out was the cry..
The final hole proved the greatest challenge for
many when the shake up draw from the umpires hat proved daunting and in
many cases destructive to what was a good card. The winner here was
still 3.6m from the pin. The add on putting challenge was yet again a
chance for a prize of yet more new balls to replace those lost in the
pond or up the Oaks! 225 proved a winning score after a heavy investment
of £1.
The 19th did a roaring bar trade whilst
finally devouring the ever faithful tasty Gammon Egg & Chips plus pud.
The usual Park volunteers worked hard on the long
near 12 hour day to see the club through a yet another very successful &
enjoyable day with funds increased by £1500 – sufficient
to pay the current club insurance bill.
The club Chairman sadly avoided his usual role on
the day due to cry for help from across the Atlantic – but will be back
next year for the 2011 event on Wed 1st June -
as we hope will all our loyal golfing supporters of this well
established fund raiser.
