Awdry Bailey & Douglas and Strakers are “On Course” of course!!

For fair weather golfers the season is nearly coming to a close but not for ABD or Strakers team members! They were raring to go...

This year’s annual golf day event held between ABD and Strakers took place on Tuesday 29 September 2015 at the Chippenham Golf Club.  It was ABD’s turn to host the event now in its 5th year of running. 

The weather was a glorious sunny day as team members enjoyed their bacon butties before setting off to play. After a little practice, the game began.  STRAKERS v ABD Golf Day Challenge!

Along the way, there were winners...

The longest Drive Winner
The winner was Mark Hulse (Strakers)
Alexander David (ABD) with Mark Hulse (Strakers)
Nearest the Pin and the Straightest Drive Winner
The winner was Scott Windle (Strakers)
Alexander David (ABD) with Scott Windle (Strakers)
AND THE FINAL SCORE IS... AN ABD WIN
The score was drawn at two wins each which meant having to go to a count back whereby ABD won narrowly. It was a close one!

A fantastic day of golf which everyone enjoyed. This was followed by a lovely dinner, speeches and prize giving from Alexander David and Tim Hotchkiss ending with carriages home.
Strakers and ABD Teams, you know who you are!
Speeches from Alexander David (ABD)
Memorable moments

A misplaced shot from Andrew Douglas on the 6th tee nearly “sliced” Strakers in half! Oops!

Close matches all round – intense!

Tom Alford having to make the hazardous “walk of shame” in front of amused onlookers across the fairway of the previous hole to play his ball because he hit his shot sideways. Really?

Lewis Bulley forgetting his golf shoes! Surely not? 

The weather was great and a fantastic day was had by all! True.

A narrow win – it was a close one!
