Partners Evening

The annual Partners Evening took place on 4th July.  The format for the evening was that the golfer plays from Tee to green where the non-handicaper partner does the putting - all followed by a hot supper. See the panel below for the winners photos and Blatchy's report.

Captain's Day 2025

The 2025 Captains Day took place  on a fine and dry Saturday 26th July. With club captain Blatchy in charge of arrangements it was bound to be a fun event with lots of challenges and fun followed by a farmhouse buffet for supper, and the usual chipping and putting comps.  With a hole in one and over £1000 raised for Julia's House the day certainly lived up to its expectations. See the winners photograph and the stableford results on the panel below.

2025 Club Captains Charity

Julia’s House is a Children's Hospice in Dorset and Wiltshire. They are an award-winning children’s hospice charity dedicated to bringing comfort and care to families across the two counties. Each family they support is unique and so is the care they provide. When a family finds out that their child has a very serious medical condition, which is life-limiting or life-threatening, their world falls apart. Julia’s House exists to help these children and their families.
