R.A.O.B. Charity Day
Pictured are the winners in the R.A.O.B charity day held at the club on Sunday August 29th along with Club Captain Gareth Phillips; Tracey Price (Mind) and main organiser of the day Ken Davies.
On a bright but breezy day over 100 golfers took part in the annual R.A.O.B.charity day.
The B-B-Q on the 10th was again a great success; the only problem was getting the golfers to move on!!
The competition was a Texas scramble medal round for teams of three.
Some great scores were returned on the day with the winning teams being;
1st ‘Bucks fizz' (M Buckingham, P Fowler, M Beavis) Net score of 52.6
2nd 2 Scuds and a player (A Williams, L. Brome, A Powles) Net 55.4
3rd Pembrokeshire Canteen Services (M. Hearne, M Summons, and M. Williams) Net 57.2
4th Warwick Hunt (A. Summons, J.Skelhorn, A Youds) Net 57.4
Nearest the pin on the par 4 5th hole (second shot) was Ken Davies; Liam Eva (who’s drive Ken took) tried to claim half the prize but was told in no uncertain terms 'Unlucky'.
The £5000 pound on offer for a hole in one on the 16th went begging again as the contrary wind played havoc with club selection on this difficult hole. The Club Captains heart was in his mouth for a few seconds but in the end his effort remained short.
The holidays in Portugal and at the Belfry also remained in the pot for next year as the other par threes survived all the players’ attempts at a hole in one.
Thanks to our many sponsors over £2500 was raised on the day.
The presentation and evening function went well with a cheque for £1000 being presented to Tracy Price (Director of Pembrokeshire Mind). Tracy spoke for a few moments about the work that Pembrokeshire Mind carries out in the local community.
Remaining monies in the kitty will be distributed on an as requested / needed basis during the year.
Many; many thanks to all our sponsors on the day, without whom this event could not take place.

South Hook LNG
B.D.S;
SeaBird Exploration
Semi Logistics
