Day was bright and I played all 18holes in a t-shirt despite ...

Captains Drive-In 2016
Yes, before some notes on the day, lets get it out of the way. our new incoming Men's Captain likes the Swashbucklers. See the proof on the right here. Well he cant help it, I wonder if the henchmen in the Early Bird eagles would give him a hard time.

Finals Day Saturday 16th April – 8am start
Well, that question put up when the Captains for 2016 were announced last year has largely been answered!
The Originals have gone from strength to strength through some solid golf this year leaving them facing off more against the Bashers than the Swashies. Fair play, their good results speak for themselves.
For their part the Swashies are ...
