A TOTAL of 168 players took part in David Payne's President's Day at Otley Golf Club.

Gusty but generally decent conditions greeted them but they were well sustained, both by the refreshments provided halfway round by the ladies and by an excellent prize-presentation dinner in the evening.

Payne thanked everyone who had helped in making the day so memorable and thanked the members for donating £105 towards Cancer Research during the day.

He concluded the event by presenting Richard Glendinning with the President’s Prize, which was one of 14 awarded.
