FESTIVAL OF GOLF
22 JUNE 2024
FESTIVAL OF GOLF 2024
Thank you to everyone who joined us this weekend for the Festival of Golf. It was an enormous success with the final number raised to be announced shortly. This is the second year we have been running the event and the first time we have done it over two days – which went extremely well! If you would like to join us next year, please save the first weekend of September 2025!
​
Saturday
After a slightly drizzly start, we saw the sunshine on Saturday with 128 golfers passing through the course. They tackled Beat the Pro on the 6th, benefitted from the young Surrey Golf elite players on the 16th for Buy a Drive and made the most of the incredible Raffle in the clubhouse. We had golfers with a range of handicaps from scratch to 36, and a mixture of members and non-members who saw the course at its very finest.
Sunday
Celebrating 30 years since the club's establishment, we had 96 members take part in our shotgun start, doubling up on several of the holes! It was an even brighter day with Buy a Drive from the General Manager Toby, along with Mulligans sold by the Men’s Captain, Malcolm Handyside. There was also another attempt to Beat the Pro plus even more raffle tickets sold before everyone headed out.
​
The day’s prizes were presented by Club President, Ian Mitchell, who also cut the 30th anniversary cake baked by in-house Chef Ian Hooke and decorated by long-standing staff member Suzanne Godsmark.
​
For this special occasion, we ran an additional Accumulator which saw a member of 25 years, Terri Littlewood, take home the £1,000 prize.
Throughout the weekend, we had food provided by Halloumi Bite, a traditional Greek street food company with a range of delicious food for everyone.
