Orange proved the dominant colour when Toni Brockwell launched her year with her drive-in as lady captain at Braintree Golf Club.

Many of the large gathering of members sported Brockwell’s favourite colour as she performed the traditional ceremony at the Stisted course.

“I must thank everyone for turning up for the drive-in,” she said.

“I’m really looking forward to a fun-packed and successful golfing year at Braintree.”
