2026 CAPTAINS GOBLETS
Well done & thank you to everyone that played on the day, but big CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners.
This years Captains Goblets event was held at the lovely Turton GC last Friday, on a dry day with a bit of sunshine thrown in too (albeit with a bit of a nippy north westerly wind)! It was a tightly fought contest, between 44 Golfers (22 pairs) with the winning pair achieving 41 points, followed by 4 x pairs on 40 points! We were also treated to some “fine dining” at Turton’s “Nicks Restaurant” after our game, in what was a thoroughly enjoyable day. Thank you all at Turton GC & Nicks Restaurant for your very kind hospitality given to us on the day.
