The first event of 2012 was held on Sunday 15th January when Eric Shelton celebrated his election as Captain of Doncaster Golf Club with a truly splendid drive. The occasion was supported by a large number of members (see picture, top right) who crowded the balconies to obtain the best view.
Eric subsequently received his Captain's blazer from retiring captain, Arthur Leach. The ceremony was completed back in the club house with the exchange of photographs (see picture, centre) and then Eric, joined by his wife, Marlene (lower right) his family and guests and a dining room full of members sat down to an excellent lunch.
