Centenary Captain

Elect Named

Caernarfon Golf Club to host 2009 Welsh Boys Championship

Centenary Celebrations

2009 

Bruce Edwards a former Captain

and current Club Chairman

The cream of young Welsh Golfers will gather at Caernarfon to compete for the Welsh Boys Championship during the Club's Centenary year in 2009.

 

This is the first major championship of this kind to be held at the club in it's 100 year history and a tribute to the dedication of staff and members.

Particular thanks must go to Junior Organiser John Roberts who has been instrumental in bringing the Championship to Caernarfon.                  

         

The Centenary sub-committee formed in 2004 is now really getting up to speed as the Centenary draws ever nearer.

 

Several matches and special Centenary competitions are planned.                          

 

Members are invited to put forward suggestions and ideas to help make it a very special year for the club.

 

The search is over! After nearly 12 months the Centenary Captain selection sub-committee has finally named the Centenary Captain Elect as Bruce Edwards (pictured above) a former Captain in 1998 and current Chairman of the Club, Bruce was Senior Partner of Bruce Edwards Jones & Co Insurance Brokers, a firm he founded and ran successfully for many years before retiring recently.

 

A stalwart of Caernarfon Golf Club, Bruce and his company have supported and sponsored many golf events over the years, raising much needed funds for the club.  In addition Bruce and wife Awen have also raised thousands of pounds for local charities by staging charity golf competitions every year.  Bruce is also a member of Caernarfon Rotary and a local Magistrate.

Caernarfon is rapidly gaining in reputation as an attractive course in an exceptional setting. The staging of this event will certainly help put the Club firmly on the map.

 

 

Every year sees improvements as the course matures and increases in reputation as an excellent venue for companies, societies and casual golfers alike. 

 

 

Membership is open to golfers of all abilities and we actively encourage junior golfers through regular tuition and competitions.

 

As his name was announced at the Past Captain's annual dinner at Caernarfon Golf Club he was given a standing ovation by his fellow Past Captains. A popular choice, Bruce thanked the club for the honour of being nominated as Centenary Captain Elect and affirmed his commitment to the Centenary year and his role as Centenary Captain Elect.

  

His experience as Club Chairman and his personal qualities will undoubtedly ensure a very successful year for the club and hopefully a very enjoyable year in office for Bruce.

 

Best wishes and congratulations from everyone at Caernarfon Golf Club.  Llongyfarchiadau Bruce.
