ALISTAIR Kirkpatrick will captain Otley Golf Club in its centenary year. He was elected to office at the club's 99th annual meeting which was attended by 150 members.
After the business of the evening had been transacted Danny Spence was re-elected as President for a second term and Alistair Kirkpatrick was elected Captain.
Mr Kirkpatrick is Sales Director of Wm. Sinclairs and has been a member of Otley Golf Club for nearly 30 years.
Both men promised to serve and represent the club to the best of their ability.
A particularly high number of members attended Mr Kirkpatrick's Captain's Drive-In. The Captain then proceeded to intersperse some exquisite drives down the middle of the fairway with some celebratory champagne toasts on the tee for his family and close friends.
The Drive-In was followed by the Captain and fellow officers of the club officially hoisting the club's Centenary flag before the clubhouse was filled to capacity with members joining the Captain and his wife, Mary, for lunch.
