Celebrating Our 2025 Captains’ Drive-Ins

Cottrell Resort was proud to host three fantastic Captain’s Drive-In events this March, marking the start of an exciting year for our Seniors, Ladies, and Men’s sections.

Ladies’ Captain Drive-In – Thursday 20th March

A beautiful sunny day set the perfect scene for Freda Emery’s Ladies’ Captain Drive-In. The Ladies Section enjoyed a fantastic 9-hole shotgun start, followed by a delicious two-course luncheon. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the fundraising efforts—£662 was raised for the 2025 Ladies Captain’s Charity, Cancer Research Wales. Here’s to a wonderful year ahead for Freda!

Men’s Captain Drive-In – Saturday 22nd March

The Men’s Section turned out in full force to support their new Captain, Gareth Dawkins, as he teed off down the 1st of the Mackintosh Course. A fantastic day was had by all, with £420 raised for his chosen charity, Dementia UK. Best of luck to Gareth for his 2025 captaincy!

Seniors’ Captain Drive-In – Wednesday 26th March

Over 60 seniors gathered to celebrate new Seniors’ Captain, Mike Milburn, with an 18-hole shotgun start on the Mackintosh Course. The event concluded with a wonderful luncheon in Tyler’s Cabin, featuring speeches and prizes. Wishing Mike all the best for his 2025 captaincy!

Congratulations to all our Captains—here’s to a great year ahead at Cottrell Resort!
