PLEASE CLICK ON IMAGE TO VIEW THE PHOTOS
Usually held on the first Sunday after the AGM, today's traditional Drive In has had to be 'physically' cancelled as a result of Covid-19 restrictions. We do hope however, to re-arrange this event at a later date when restrictions are lifted.
Determined not to let the virus derail plans for a Drive In, our 4 Captains decided to mark the occasion of the start of their golf year by having a modified Drive In today.
Captain Terry, Lady Captain Wendy, Seniors Captain Roger, Junior Captain Leo, all flanked by President Dave, sent in photos of themselves enjoying their day.
We wish our 2021 team all the best at the start of the new year, knowing they will drive forward and carry on the good work from our Centenary team.
2021 - 2022 PRESIDENT - MR DAVE GREAVES

2020 TEAM
2019-2020 PRESIDENT - Dale Benbow
Dale has served the Club in numerous capacities both on and off the golf course. She has played in league and Mail on Sunday teams for which she was awarded her “Club Honours” in Ann Trevor’s year of Captaincy and has been chair of House & Social but her highlight, to date, was serving as millennium (2000!) Ladies’ Captain.
On the County front Dale is a past Captain of the Shropshire Society of Lady Golf Captains (SSLGC).
Dale is proud to be continuing the Benbow family’s close association with the Club as for many years Benbow Brothers have been responsible for tree surgery throughout the estate while her late brother in law Ray was Club Captain in 1981.
But she in most proud of her nephew, Tom Benbow, a past HPGC Junior Captain and Shropshire County Player. Tom, who now works for IMG, is a member at Royal Mid Surrey where, playing off scratch, he won their Club Championship in 2015 - and has played in the final ever since!
