Lady Captain’s Charity Golf Event
A huge thank you to everyone who supported the Lady Captain’s Charity Golf event on Thursday, 20 June in aid of the National Autistic Society (Newtownards Branch). Despite a small shower, some very good golf was played over nine holes and congratulations to winner Jill Macdonald and runner-up Maeve Bogie (LVC Mahee). Congratulations also to ‘golf’ quiz team winners Edith Clegg, Heather Gibson (LC Mahee), and Ann Hamilton (Mahee) who returned a strong score on questions ranging from Abba, the Blackwood course and Miss Isette Pearson (a founder of the Ladies Golf Union)! Thank you also to Quizmaster Susan Stockton and to Suzi and Dom at 19 for their generous arrangements, delicious food and for looking after us so well. |

Is there a better time than summer to be out playing golf? Silly question, really. So, now you’ve got your cap on and you’re lathered in sun lotion, it’s time to make sure the most important part of your body (arguably) is protected: your eyes. |
 | Oakley Mercenary sunglasses
|
|
UV protection You don’t need us to tell you that staring straight at the sun is not the smartest idea, but these sunglasses come with UV protection to keep those harmful rays at bay.
|
Enhanced vision The best thing about the Mercenary is that it comes with Oakley's Dark Prizm lenses, which help to improve colour, contrast and detail for maximum clarity on the course.
|
Stylish look Last but by no means least, these sunnies are incredibly stylish with a modern frame and larger lens shape, meaning you'll happily wear them all day long.
|
|
Looking for something else? If the Mercenary doesn't tickle your fancy then not to worry, we have a huge collection of Oakley sunglasses available online to get delivered to store for you to pick up at your convenience - simply click on the button below to browse the range. |
