New captains at The Ashburnham
Theres a new team at the helm at The Ashburnham Championship Links golf course in Pembrey.
The new club captain is structural engineer Mel Williams.
And the new ladies captain is Iris Jacob.
Mr Williams, 69, has been playing at The Ash for 53 years, since he was 16.
When I was brought up in Pembrey and most of the local boys in played golf as well as the traditional sports of rugby and cricket, Mr Williams said.
Im really looking forward to my year as club captain. The fellowship and the fun is great here and I am looking forward to all the competitions and activities planned for the year.
Ladies captain Mrs Jacob is a post office worker living in Pembrey.
She started playing golf in 1994.
She recalled: I started playing on the advice of a friend. Id just become a widow and she brought me down to The Ash to try the game. Ive made new friends and been given a new lease of life with a new circle of friends.
Mrs Jacob added: We have a wonderful course here at The Ash and a great community spirit in the club.
