Welcome to this week’s newsletter. We have lots of results to review and lots more to look forward to – starting with the Drive In on Saturday and the Masters on the 9th April.
Drive In
As per the last couple of years, we are running a sweepstake to guess the cumulative distance of the three drives (gents captain Mike Thompson, ladies captain Helen Davies and junior captain Ollie Lynch).
The price to enter is £5 and that money is split 50:50. Half goes to the lady captain’s charity, which is Moya Cole and the other half goes into the pot to the winner who’s closest to the actual distance. The prize will be in Pro Shop credit.
So please let me know if you’d like to have a go. The distances range from 350 – 700 yards in one yard increments. You can pay using pro shop credit or club card credit. Thank you.
25 & Unders vs the Over 25s Match (Sun 22/3/26)
The oldies won 5.5 to 4.5 as 40 players took to the course. The format was nine holes fourball betterball matchplay and great fun was had by everyone. We’re hoping to make this an annual fixture.

Well done to Garrett Coulson for winning the Bogey Final with a cracing score of 5 up. Andy Gething was the runner up with 2up beating Paul Bramwell on a card play off.

Ian Powell’s winter training programme of using the studio with CJ Brown clearly paid off as he won Bogey 6 with a fine score of 6 up. Mark Williams was runner up with 2 up and again Paul Bramwell was beaten into third place following a card play off. Unlucky but very consistent golf Paul.
