One of the great things about being a member of Driffield Golf Club is that there is such a healthy variety of groups which have banded together at certain times during the week for a game of golf.
The social aspect of being a club member has many advantages but knowing that you can just turn up at the club at a set time to join other players who all enjoy a similar standard of golf is very rewarding. These groups welcome newcomers and is the lifeblood for a healthy club.
The DREGS which stands tongue-in-cheek for ‘Driffield’s Really Excellent Golf Society’ celebrated their annual golf day on Saturday, October 6.
The group was originally formed by a few members simply wishing to turn up at a set time three days a week for a regular game of golf. Since then the group has grown, and on Saturday afternoon 36 members played in the DREGS Day.
The group is now into it’s 13th year with Peter Smith (pictured) organising the last six years events.
The usual fun and banter was had during the day with a format played which gave all a chance of victory. Following the golf all enjoyed the apres golf cuisine etc. and prizegiving.
