The first outing of the year sees the society visit Drayton Park Golf Club where Tom McKiver will be defending the Coach & Horses Shield. The plan is to arrive around 10:30am (1hr before first tee time – 11:30am) to enjoy a full English breakfast. Cost for the day out is £35 to members and £40 for guests
Located between Abingdon and Didcot, allow around 45 to 50 minutes drive from Adderbury (alternatively click on the location links to plan your own journey or better still hook a ride with a fellow member!). The draw for the order of play (in 3 or 4 ball groupings) will be drawn during breakfast allowing plenty of time for a warm up (or extra cup of coffee!!). There is also a chance to enter the 2’s competition and sweep.
In addition to the golf at Drayton Park, there will also be an evening buffet, the pairs draw and Karaoke at the Coach & Horses. The cost for the buffet is £5 per person. If you plan on playing golf and eating at the Coach & Horses, the total cost of the day will be £40 or (£45 for guests).
What the club says: We have a challenging course offering varied holes with tree lined fairways and several lakes rewarding the golfer who thinks about each shot. Tighter fairways with short rough favour accurate placement – there are five dogleg par 4’s, four challenging par 5’s and six par 3 holes. At 6,473 yards off the white tees the course is enjoyable for golfers of all handicaps, although it is most rewarding for those golfers who can keep their ball on the straight and narrow.
Closing date for entry AND Payment: Sunday 28th February 2016
