Fraser Macintyre has had the experience of captaincy before in his 33 years as a member of Caunton Cricket Club, but he is now taking over at the helm of Newark Golf Club.
He will get into the full swing of things on Sunday with his official drive-in at the club, and he has chosen Beaumond House Community Hospice as the club charity for 2010, while the Charity Day Open will support the Southwell Care Project.
Peter Lockley, the head professional at Newark Golf Club and freelance coach at the Orchards Golf Club, has been appointed high performance manager of the Irish Ladies Golf Union.
Newark Golf Club men’s team, who have had something of a yo-yo existence in the Notts Scratch League, can look forward to another season in Division One under the captaincy of John E. Cooke junior.
