HUGH Someville has been named the 100th captain of Burnham Beeches Golf Club alongside ladies skipper Claire Wilcox.

Someville (12 handicap) and Wilcox were joined by club professional Ronnie Bolton and vice-captain Mike Dunthorne at the Captain’s Drive.

Tradition dictates that they have a shot of whisky and then drive off the first tee while members make as much noise as possible.

Burnham Beeches moves into the New Year in fine health having recently purchased the freehold.

The club is also half-way through a course improvement project to renovate all green-side bunkers.
