Congratulations to Adele Davies, who stormed to victory in the Atchison Trophy with an outstanding nett 65 – a brilliant 9 under par round, especially so early in the season. Played in blustery but dry conditions, Adele held her nerve brilliantly, with her round including a superb gross par on the tricky 7th par 3. Her consistency and strong play saw her finish well ahead of Michelle Easton and Viv Cowell, who both returned really good scores of nett 74.

Captain Mandy Scott was full of praise, saying, “It was a lovely round of golf from Adele and will definitely result in a well-deserved handicap cut after such a superb score.” There was also celebration for Liz Davies, who won the 18-hole sweep with a nett 73.

A great day of early-season golf and encouraging to see such strong scoring across the board – well done to all!

Next Saturday's competition is the Finlay Trophy, don't forget to sign in to enter.

Congratulations to Chris Scott, who achieved every golfer’s dream with a fantastic hole-in-one on the very first hole during the recent Gents match against Seahouses. Playing against Paul Bowlt, Chris stood on the tee of the 155-yard par three and pulled out his 5-iron. He struck it beautifully—the ball landed cleanly on the green, took two smooth bounces, and dropped straight into the hole! Even better, Chris saw it go in, making the moment even more special.

It was a lovely, calm spring evening—perfect for match play—and Chris’s ace helped set the tone for a great night. The Burgham team went on to win the match 4–1 overall, so well done to everyone who played. But a special mention to Chris for a truly unforgettable start to the match!
