A special day was to be had at Ruthin Pwll Glas , Mr. John Hughes, a past Captain of the club, held his County Captains day at his home club with being the current County Captain of the Denbighshire Golf Union.

With the weather looking good and the turnout was well supported by the clubs in the union, a good day was to be had.

My playing partners for the day were the Captain and Vice Captain of Rhos on Sea Golf club, a club I have yet to play on the challenge.

This nine hole course is on the crest of a mountain slope with views along the Clwyd vale. A good starting hole par 4, 349 yards allows you open your shoulders off the tee playing uphill to the green. The first of the par 3′s will test all as it was straight into wind, 225 yards uphill. Ten holes are played over markers, so accurate drives are essential. The greens and tees were excellent with good presentation all round the course.

County Captain sets the ball rolling; one could say “well teed off” sir.

Finishing off the day the County Captain thanked all who supported him and all prize winners went home with some good wine and spirits.

I would like to thank all the members of Ruthin Pwll Glas who are supporting the “Penny” challenge especially the chairman Mr. Gwyn Lewis for his sponsorship towards the challenge.
