on the 18th hole with Norman Milburn attending the flag.
Our 2012 Club Captain, Richard Daughtrey,
arrives with his own ‘Olympic torch’.
The Juniors’ Captain, Greg Andrew, drives-in
with an impressive 244 yard drive.
The Seniors’ Captain, John Pheasey, drives-in with
a respectable drive of just over 200 yards.
Our new Club Captain, Richard Daughtrey, will be retiring as the Managing Director of Brighton Fire Alarms during his captaincy – and announces it on his shirt! A practice swing with a short driver and an extra long tee!
(For the record, he hit it well)

West Hove GC just misses out in a 'Club of the Year' award

General Manager, Gary Salt, holding the 'Highly Commended' certificate in the 'TAKEPART Club of the Year' category at the 2011 Brighton & Hove City Council Sport & Physical Activity Awards


On Wednesday 12 October the Club's General Manager, Gary Salt, attended the Amex Community Stadium at Falmer where the 2011 Brighton & Hove City Council Sport & Physical Activity Awards were presented.
 
Over 300 attended the function in the BUPA Lounge and the Council presented many awards in addition to announcing the two torch bearers for the Olympic Flame when it is carried through the city.
 
West Hove had been nominated in the 'TAKEPART Club of the Year' category and reached the final short-list of three. Unfortunately we were not announced as the winners but Gary was presented with a "Highly Commended" certificate on behalf of the Club.
 
This was a very good achievement considering the number of clubs within the Brighton & Hove area - indeed, we were the first golf club to have made the short-list. For the record, the worthy winners were Hollingbury Table-Tennis Club.

Lady Golfers at West Hove

Lady Golfers at West Hove

The Club's new Dress Code was introduced in December 2010, just before the very cold and snowy weather arrived.

However, the Code appears to make no reference to fake fur, but two of our Lady Members, Jenny Davis (left) and Jill Corbett, were not deterred and found these hats the only way to combat the cold.

They must be "tee cosies"!
