Cancelled Competitions

Gents, due to the lack of names entering The 4 Club Challenge, we have decided to cancel the competition and use the two tee times in The Yellow Tee Competition which was full, sorry for any inconvenience caused.

The White / Yellow Tee combined competition on Saturday 22nd will unfortunately also have to be cancelled due to a mix up over dates for The End of Season Texas Scramble which has left us with no times to use.

Please accept our apologies over these cancelled competitions.

Norse Cup Result

On a blustery Sunday afternoon, 24 players braved the elements to compete for The Norse Cup, where there was some good scoring. It was decided to finish the competition at the 15th hole due to bad weather and rain coming in.
