With great weather during the summer and a membership close to 50, there was a consistent group of over 35 golfers turning out each week for the various Tuesday competitions.

It was a very full year with eight monthly medals, 15 trophy competitions and 19 matches against clubs from around the county. There were also three holes-in-one during this past year.

Trips to Belton Park for the captain’s away day and the 2018 exchange day, a visit to Waltham Windmill, near Grimsby, were greatly enjoyed.

In 2018 there were 15 different winners of the various competitions, with John Wade being the most successful, winning the June medal, along with four other trophies including the Golfer of the Year Trophy.

Stuart Needham and Graham Squires also had very good summers with good consistent golf played throughout, with Graham Squires winning the trophy for the most improved golfer - which was well deserved after a very good and consistent run.

All the trophies were presented at the annual Christmas Dinner and Presentation by Bill, with assistance from Les Martin, who will be captain for the 2019 season.
