FCC Golf Day – Friday 4th October 2024

Well done on the overall winner Simon Jones!!

The fifteenth annual Folkestone Cricket Club Golf Day was held at Etchinghill Golf Club on the above date. It was held in superb weather conditions with blue skies and in shirt sleeves. There were a total of 36 golfers of differing abilities, but a few exceptions being of a higher standard. The course being in superb condition, with the only complaints being that the greens were too fast!

Congratulations to the overall winner being Simon Jones (see photograph) with a magnificent 44 points playing off a handicap of 13. Also, congratulations to Paul Clarke in the runner-up spot with a very good 38 points playing off a handicap of 20. I would also like to pass on my congratulations to the other trophy winners.

It was also a unique occasion in that Simon Parsliffe ‘holed-in-one’ on the 17th! This being a first in the 15 years of the event. It was therefore a very expensive event for Simon at the bar!

I would also like to thank all who assisted on the day and for Alwyn and Jo’s assistance prior to the event. I would also like to thank everybody that contributed raffle prizes. I am therefore pleased to advise that we raised just over £650 for the Cricket Club funds.

I confirm that the Golf Day has been booked for next year on Friday 3rd October 2025, please put this date in your diary. I want no excuses that we haven’t given you plenty of notice to attend!

I look forward to seeing you all around the club.

With kind regards & fore!

Stuart
