Festive Draw
As always I drew the names for the Festive Draw on New Year’s Day accompanied by many members who had just played in the New Year’s Day Texas Scramble. The support I received for my draw from all sections of our membership was outstanding and this allowed me to give away some great prizes. It always helps the atmosphere when there is someone in the clubhouse who picks up a prize and every year there’s always at least one lucky person present. This year however the first nine tickets were drawn without a single person able to come up and collect their prize. I had one final chance as the last announcement was for the top prize which was picked out by our Captain Tony Lopatagui. The roar from the announcement that Jan Young - who was there to pick up the prize - had won the set of clubs, nearly took the roof off and it followed her husband Peter winning top prize in the Captain's Draw the previous evening. What a great start for the year for the Young's and also Keith Elvin who got picked out of the hat twice. Thanks once again for all your support. The full draw is as follows: 1st Janet Young – TaylorMade Irons
2nd Paddy O’Connor – S1 Trolley
3rd Keith Elvin – Epic 3 Wood
4th John Hambly – Titleist Bag
5th Jon Relph – Kjus Radiation Jacket
6th Keith Elvin – PING Putter
7th Steve Manser – Hedgehogs
8th Ray Ellis – Mizuno Carry Bag
9th Dean Margiotta – Umbrella
10th Andrew Doyle – Pro V1 It was a good start to the year also for the team of Julian Gray, Alistair Mackenzie, Jude Mackenzie, Liz Martinez Gray who cleared any fog lingering from the night before with an excellent 55.4 Nett, beating the runners-up Colin Murray, Ben Price, Allan Robb, Pete Wilder 58.7 Nett by some margin.
