Pro’s Day success Thank you to all who attended our second Pro’s day on Saturday. The format of the Vegas Scramble every year throws up some great golfing stories and and of course keeps the scoring very close, which makes for a great competition. This year the top six teams were within one shot of each other. We had 112 competitors this year and as well as Nearest the Pins on all the Par 3’s we had a Longest Drive and straightest drive competitions as well as our usual Putterball putters on the 15th hole and of course Thurlestone wouldn’t be Thurlestone without some Tennis on the 17th Hole! Lorraine and Emma manned or even ‘womanned’ the half way house at the 10th tee and provided the competitors with beer, wine or cider and of course some encouragement which may have explained the phenomenal scores on the back nine. Click here to see the full table of prize winners. Duncan showed us some of his trick shot repertoire which was very well received by a large crowd in front of the Clubhouse, followed by the Prize Presentation, lovely meal and then live music from ‘The Penguins’. There were a few tired, sun burnt bodies (mainly the Pro’s!) and a few sore heads on Sunday morning which is always a good sign of a good day! I’m not sure how we are going to improve this for next year but we will have a go!!
Some of the kind comments….. “What great day you and the team organised on Saturday. We had a great afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it all.” “Thank you and your team so much for a thoroughly enjoyable day yesterday. Great competition, great weather, great fun, extremely welcome lager on the 10th tee and great team in the Pro's Shop.” “It was quite simply a perfect ‘fun’ day, what with the format, Duncan’s trick show, the prizes and the evening do. I know there would have been a huge amount of organising and hard work behind the scenes but it all ran seamlessly and once again a big thank you.” "Thank you again Steve to you and your team for a great day on the golf course and for the reminder that it should be fun!" |
