What a Fantastic Week at Burgham Park!
We’ve had an exciting and eventful week at Burgham Park, kicking off last weekend with the Community Golf Instructor Course. We were thrilled to host this initiative, helping members from Burgham, Morpeth, Consett, and Ravensworth earn their certification to support golf development at their clubs and within their local communities. It’s a fantastic step towards growing the game, and we wish them all the best in introducing new players to the sport.
Throughout the week, our Professional Heather Smith has been running Start Your Season sessions, helping our Ladies, Gents, and Seniors get back into the swing of things. The feedback has been brilliant, with one lady enthusiastically sharing, "I’ve never hit a hybrid before—never mind that far!" Great work, Heather—keep it up!
And in competition news, a familiar name was back in the winner’s enclosure. In the first 18-hole Ladies’ Stableford of the season, Robbyn Watson picked up where she left off in the Winter League, securing victory with an impressive 41 points, just edging out Michelle Easton in second place. Well played, Ladies!
Looking ahead, don’t forget our Captain’s Drive-In on Saturday, April 5th. Join us from 9:00 AM for a 10:00 AM shotgun start, as we officially launch what promises to be a fantastic 2025 season. We can’t wait to welcome our Captains and all our members for another great year of golf!
