90th Anniversary Professional’s Day Special 1928-2018 What a day we had Saturday for our clubs 90th Anniversary Annual Pro’s Day Special. The fancy dress theme chosen to celebrate the clubs 90th Birthday was obviously old golfers! I’m delighted to say we had a fantastic turnout from members and guests who all got into the spirit with some of the best fancy dress costumes we’ve seen in a long time. The participants took on challenges on each hole, which was in accordance with the 1928 era, such as the ‘Hickory Stick Challenge’, ‘Longest drive with an old wooden driver’, and many more fun games! There were prizes for the top 6 teams and an individual prize on every hole. Prizes were awarded at the presentation in the evening function after such a great day. Special shout out to Nigel Ellul who hit the last shot of the day in the last group and rounded off a fantastic day with a hole in 1! A fitting end to the day. We would like to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who supported the event, the newly appointed caterers who did a fantastic job throughout the day, all the juniors who helped myself, Kev and Scotty, the amazing barmaids in the Beer Tent, the bar staff and lastly our incredible sponsors for your generosity. We raised over £400 for our chosen charity Ty Hafan. The juniors also raised nearly £40 with their club cleaning and we raised another £40 from yellow ball sales in the beer tent to go to the Junior section fund, so once again a BIG thank you!
