“Serving this great club has been one of the greatest honours and I thank each and every one of you for entrusting me with the privilege to lead.

“I did not walk this path alone. I want to extend my sincere appreciation to the 2025/26 Management Committee. We spent countless hours planning, debating and working together to make our club stronger.

“As my captaincy comes to an end, I wish the incoming captain and his team every success. I am not leaving but look forward to many more rounds of golf with all of you,” he added.
