Captains' Drive-in
Martin Hallam managed to hold his nerve on the first tee at this year's Captains Drive-in this weekend. Martin drove the ball a respectful 207 yards into a strong head wind. Congratulations to Simon Whitehead for successfully guessing the correct yardage.
The course was set up very long with all the blue tees being pushed back to the stones; this did not seem to faze a few members, who were able to post round under their handicaps. Congratulations to Jake Day for posting a fantastic round of nett 65, winning Division one and Dave Cook posting a nett 68 winning Division two on count back.

Members On Tour
Keith Lazenby - Golf in Estoril, Portugal.
"A group of 12 of us (11 from Stratford GC and me) spent four days golfing in late March at courses linked to our hotel, the very grand Hotel Palacio which was used by the James Bond cast in 1986, my namesake George was 007. We played Estoril, Playa Longha (overlooking the grand prix circuit) and Beloura. Good courses, very fast greens, windy weather, and ample food and drink consumed in nearby Cascais and Lisbon."
It looks like you have had a great time Keith, any other members going on an away trip, please share with me and I can include in future newsletters.
