TED Cosway celebrated his appointment as club captain of High Post Golf Club with the traditional drive in on Saturday (March 18).

Partnered by Ladies' captain Carole Gee, Junior captain Seona Mauchline and Seniors captain Mel Earle, Cosway hit a straight drive down the first hole.

The day also saw 150 golfers take part in Cosway's Drive In competitions, with the day being rounded off by a 'Beatles night extravaganza' in the evening.

Cosway, who is also a past captain of both Salisbury Cricket Club and Salisbury RFC, has been a member of High Post since 1987 and was elected a director of the club in 2013.

"I am honoured and delighted to be elected as club captain here at High Post, which is a wonderful members club," said Cosway.

"It promises to be a busy year, but I will certainly want to maintain the traditions of the club as well as continuing with our preparations for the club's centenary in 2022."
