Towards the end of July we had another great golfing weekend of golf at Burgham.

Firstly on the Friday our Seniors' Team were playing Bamburgh Castle Golf Club in an NNGL match. Our team came second, but what a day for Bamburgh's Alan Trimby (first picture) achieving a hole in one on our 7th hole, par 3. Alan took a 50 degree wedge, landed nicely on the green and into the hole, achieving every golfers dream. 'It certainly topped off a great day, it was a lovely match and all the guys enjoyed their day out - maybe not as much as me :-) ! It was great to see the Burgham course in great nick, especially the greens' Our very best wishes Alan, congratulations and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Next up on Saturday was the Ladies Atchison All Winners Trophy. All Ladies who had won a competition in 2023 were eligible to enter. On a day with great conditions, if not a little humid, Lindsey Bruce (main picture) came out the winner with an excellent one under, net 73. Lindsey had a great birdie on the second hole and a final run of 3 pars in the last 5 holes which saw her lift the trophy. Well done Lindsey.

On Sunday Barry Peters (picture three - in the blue shirt :-) ) won the Gents' Butterknowle Cup with a really fabulous net 69. Barry started like a train parring 3 of the first 4 holes, including the tricky bunker surrounded 2nd hole. He held his nerve on the back nine to come in two shots ahead of Alan Lazenby who had a net 71. Great golf guys.

Finally on Sunday we had a great Get into Golf Session for Ladies. Ladies are now signing up for our extended programme now running through to October. Ladies will continue to have the opportunity to practice playing with drivers and irons as well as learning the nuances of pitching and putting. If you're interested in joining us, contact Gill at gill@cabrit.co.uk

Many congratulations to our Ladies' and Gents' Club Champions for 2024, Gill Smith and Stephen Dodds.

The Ladies event is played in a single day over 36 holes. Gill Smith led by 3 shots from Lindsey Bruce after 18 holes. The second 18 continued to be a closely fought battle between the two with Lindsey mounting a real closing challenge to get within one shot. Gill parred the 18th to just nick the win.

The Gents' competition is played over two weekends in July. After the first weekend Glen Waterson had quite a healthy lead from Paul Barnett and Stephen Dodd. Stephen then made a charge on the second round and came through the field to also win by just the one shot.

Our congratulations go to both of them, and we look forward to hearing who the Seniors' Champion is later in July.
