New Ladies Captain Iris "Drives In"
27/10/2008
October has seen several competitions at the Downs cancelled due to low cloud obscuring the course during the critical hour from first tee time. There was brief respite in the weather at the weekend which allowed Iris Pearce to “Drive in” to launch her year as Downs Ladies’ Captain. After her traditional “drive in” drive, from the top of the starters hut, found the centre of the fairway, all sections were represented in the following Texas Scramble shot-gun event. Asked how far the new Ladies’ Captain had driven, playing partner and Club Captain Graham Orchard replied that it was a respectable distance but it would be impolite to reveal a lady’s exact measurement.
In blustery but dry conditions the competition was won by Teresa Archer, Ian Pagan, Chris Palmer and John Boniface with a nett.
