ANDY Preece drove into Burghill Valley Golf Club as the new men's captain.

Preece, who turns 50 in August, has been a member since 1994 and replaces Brian Lewis.

Vice-captain will be Don Horton.

The men have a team in the semi-final of a county competition and Preece is hoping last year's achievements of two cup triumphs can be matched or even surpassed.

His nominated charity for the year is Prostate Cancer UK and there will be a men's Charity Open at the club on Saturday, May 30.

Prior to that, the Men's Singles Open will be on May 16 and the Pairs Open, while the Pairs Open will be on September 5.
