2008 NSOC Golf Day

1st Team Out
The 2008 annual golf day took place on August 5th at the prestigious New Zealand golf club in Woodham, Surrey. Despite heavy rain the 52
players got off to an early start in good spirits following breakfast. Unfortunately although not cold it rained for most of the day. Making
the going hard on what the players claimed afterwards as a tough and challenging course. However, they all stuck at it and arrived back at the
clubhouse in the same good spirits they had tee’d off in.
Following well deserved pre dinner drinks we were joined by Steve Smith the NSOC chairman for a hearty 3 course meal. It was then onto
the auction with the help of Jamie Newington and Edward Middleton, who in partnership sold auction items that had been kindly donated by various
companies, and pieces of memorabilia from professional golfers.
Steve then made a very moving speech about Neuroblastoma, the children who are diagnosed with the disease and how it affects the whole
family.
Steve went on to present the winning prizes to:
Individual Man - Wayne Martin
Individual Lady - Sandra Moses
Ist Team Boss - John Tedder - Matt Alker - Ian Blondale - Peter Shearer
2nd Team The Brandy Club - David Salter - Robert Salter - Martin Bedwell - Mick O’Meara
3rd Team The Yips - Wayne Martin - Matt Howell - Richard Argyle - David Green
Longest Drive - Kevin Stilwell
Nearest the Pin - Sandra Moses
Not only did Sandra Moses win the individual lady prize for the 3rd year running but also was good to see her beat all the men to win the
nearest to the pin prize. Well done Sandra.
Once again it was a good to see our regular annual players return to support the event although a number were unable to play due to school
holiday commitments. Something we will remember when booking the day for next year. However, we did welcome some new teams who are looking
forward to returning next year.
We thank you all for your support and the good humour you played in on the day.
