Captain’s Day was held at Rhuddlan on 8th Sept when 60 members played plus 6 guests. Unfortunately, the weather was atrocious and a decision was made to play the competition over 14 holes to ensure that all players could complete their round in daylight. The refreshments provided by the Captain at the halfway house were gladly welcomed by all, in what was for the majority of the day, heavy rain.
The winner of the Captain’s Salver was Paul Burnet with 28 pts.

The President's Day was held at Prestatyn on Sunday 18th August.
The course was in excellent condition, and though windy, was testing but thoroughly enjoyed by all of the excellent field of 48 players.
The President Dale Milne provided welcoming refreshments at the halfway house.
After the golf we all tucked into a well-earned meal that was first rate.
There were 2 birdie 2s which I am sure would make the Treasurer very happy.
