Day 106 - Charitable Work

Despite the offer of a game this morning, decided that after 3 days in a row, a rest from golf would be a good idea. Decided instead to spend some time working on the hole sponsorship for our upcoming Captains' Charity Day, which is to be held at the Club on the 20th June. 

It's a 4 person team event and I must confess to being a bit surprised that we haven't filled all the slots yet.  I wonder if it's the cost (£20/head), the poor weather we are having or if people are just feeling golfed-out.  One of my jobs over the coming days is to seek to beef up the numbers as it's always great fun and I know that people enjoy playing team golf for a change.

Working on the posters was always going to be a challenge: getting them printed semi-professionally at a decent price was always my aim but the first place I went to wanted to charge more than £300/hole which is a bit steep - especially as we have only charged the sponsors £200 each!

One of my jobs today was to walk down to the village and, as I did so, I passed a local graphics company that I had never noticed before  - D&A Graphics of Cobham - so I popped in there to see what they might be able to do. Am awaiting their estimate to see if it's more reasonable. 

And if anyone reading this would still like to sponsor a hole, we have a couple left - a mere snip at £200 a go and all for a very good cause...!
