Dunfanaghy Golf Club's 2018 Captain's Drive In was held on Saturday 30th December. A large group of spectators and fellow golfers watched as Captain Peter Sullivan and Lady Captain Janice Doherty struck the first drives of their Captain's year.
Peter and Janice's drives sailing down the middle of the first fairway signalled the start of the Captain's Drive In Scramble held this year over 14 holes. After lunch was served in the clubhouse Peter and Janice presented prizes to competition winners from earlier in the year followed by the presentation of prizes to the winners of the scramble.
Everyone at Dunfanaghy Golf Club wishes Peter and Janice a very successful year!
