Men's Captain
Phil Auden
"
I am proud to be taking over as club captain for 2022 and really hope that we have at least a relative return to normality.
Thanks to Mark (and Paul before) for working hard through two difficult years.
My chosen charity this year is the "Tenterden Social Hub" which is a local charity that provides a wide range of much needed services for residents of Tenterden and surrounding communities.
One of my main aims this year is to continue to bring all parts of the club together and offer more opportunities for both social activities, competitive and friendly golf. The club is in a strong position with a high level of membership, great improvements on the course, excellent bar and catering and imminent clubhouse improvements. I hope that members will support and enjoy the facilities and activities and be proud members of TGC.
We restarted the social events in the last few months; more events will be on the calendar soon.
I look forward to continue working with Ladies’ Captain Penny, Seniors’ Captain Peter and my Vice Captain Glynn.
One final thing I would like to mention is the junior section. It is often said that with any club the juniors are the future of the club and whilst it’s not a simple matter of today’s juniors will be tomorrow’s members, leaders, volunteers, etc. I have no doubt that a thriving junior section is vital to the ongoing success of our club. I am pleased to say that we have had a couple of very promising meetings with Homewood school and will be starting Wednesday afternoon group coaching sessions shortly, initially with the girls then progressing to the boys. Penny and I are supporting Richard in this but we need more volunteers to help with this and other activities. If you are able to offer any help – whatever that may be – please talk to myself Richard or Penny."
