ON A BEAUTIFUL sunny day last weekend, Dinas Powis Golf Club Captains Day was enjoyed by all especially the winner Gareth Hodges.

He carded an exceptional net 59 off a 21 handicap and was congratulated by Dr JAG Jones on his performance at the presentation later in the evening.

With the ladies also playing in the event, Lisa Ryley finished a polished round with a net 63 off a handicap of 15.

Other notable efforts were Bob Wilson, a net 65 which earned him fourth best gross prize and John Bridle with a net 68 gained the best senior award.

Credit must go to Julian Bartlett-Jones and his groundstaff for preparing a fine course with pristine greens which would be the envy of any course in the area.

Captain JAG Jones who is standing for the second time, provided much needed refreshments at the one o'clock gate and a buffet after the round.

Previously, the Oscar Powell Foursomes Competition was played for and the victorious pair were Rob Hathway and Phil Sutton with an immense net 59.4.

Hathway in particular is playing really consistently at present off his 10 handicap and with the deadly Sutton as partner they are a fine pairing.

They are also through to the Greensomes quarter finals competition and will certainly be a difficult duo to play against.

The first Team who were promoted last season halved their match with Morlais Castle last week and consolidated their league position.Wayne

James and Dom Jones are key players and the former was a little disappointed to not get full points for a home fixture which can be crucial come the end of the season league placing.
