GOLF CUP CHALLENGE!

AWDRY, DOUGLAS AND EVERETT v STRAKERS 

It was that annual time of year again, when grey blustery showers of rain set in (english summer!) and the Golf Cup Challenge commenced......

The venue was Castle Combe Golf Club, and the hosts were Strakers Estate Agents!

Bacon butties and coffee were the first challenge of the day.  The rains then lifted albeit weather still grey, and the game began!

There were 4 x 4 balls, with Awdry, Douglas and Everett winning 3 games to 1. The "longest drive" competition was won by Ben Fitzgibbon (Strakers) and the "nearest pin" competition was won by Jo Phelan (ABD). A good days worth of golf which everybody thoroughly enjoyed.

As day turned into night everybody tucked into their delicious evening fare in the dining room of Castle Combe Clubhouse ending with prize giving and carriages home at around 9.30pm.

Strakers won the cup last year, Awdry, Douglas and Everett won it back this year, the question is - who will win it next year??!

We will have to wait and see....
