Captain's charity cheque presentation

Rushden Golf Club Chairty Cheque

Not to be outdone by Bernhard Langer in 1982, the Captain was on for a level 2's over 9 holes during the Christmas break and then his drive on the ninth ended up in the tree. Having taken advice on the rules from Adrian our PGA, and then asking Rick his vice Captain to lift him up, he elected to play his shot from the tree.
