WET and windy weather did not dampen spirits as captains drove into office at three clubs.

A year in charge began for skippers at Studley Wood, Oxford City and Oxford Ladies in difficult conditions on Sunday.

More than £1,100 was raised for charity at Studley Wood, where 100 members took part in the annual traditional.

Men’s captain Dave Drew has selected Oxford Children’s Hospital as his chosen charity for 2015, while lady skipper Elizabeth Wheeldon will be supporting Water Aid.

The fundraising began strongly, thanks to a raffle and auction after the competition, which was won by a team led by new club president Paul Fitzgerald.

They were joined by Mike Atkins, who will lead the seniors’ section, and junior captain Sophie Herring.

Elsewhere, incoming Oxford Ladies captain Jan Glover and new Oxford City counterpart Mike Rothery found the fairway with their drives.
