CAPTAIN VERSUS VICE-CAPTAIN 2013

We made it!  After a  week of wondering if the annual Captain versus Vice-Captain Match  would take place, the weather cheered up and Lady Captain, Vike Brown,  marked the start of the  2013 golfing season with a fine drive from the 1st tee on Rosemount, in brilliant sunshine.
The sunshine did not last long, unfortunately,  but considering the  poor weather we have endured of late, playing conditions were remarkably  good and it was just great to be out playing to full greens.  Our thanks to the greens staff for their heroic efforts to get the course ready for play today.

The format was foursomes with several matches going to the 18th. In the end the Lady Captain's team  edged  a victory  of 8 - 6 over the Vice-Captain's team.
Game over we enjoyed soup and sandwiches, with lots of chat,  in the dining room. Here's hoping this really is the start of our  golf  for 2013.

Ready to go! Margaret and Vike celebrate the start  of the season. Vike drives off in style to great applause....and thanks to Jean Laburn for deputising for  Vike in the Match.  It's all smiles as the Winner receives the trophy.
