Celebrating a Fantastic Year of Golf – Our 2025 Season Highlights

As our golfing year of Board and Trohpy events has drawn to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what has been another fantastic season for the Men’s Section.

Through every competition, knockout, trophy and fun event the enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and camaraderie among our members have made this year one to remember.

We’ve seen some incredible performances across the board a season of Bullet Makser qualifiers, climactic battles in the club championships, our major trophies and honour board events.

Each competition has shown the depth of talent (or luck!) in the club and the spirit that makes our section so strong.

A special congratulations goes to all our trophy winners, knockout champions, and those whose names will be proudly added to the honour boards or trophies this year. Recognition is also due to the many members who consistently supported the weekly competitions, helping make them as enjoyable and competitive as ever.

Our Eclectic and Order of Merit contests have once again been closely fought, with excellent consistency and commitment shown by so many of you. Whether you finished top of the table or simply enjoyed being part of the challenge, thank you for taking part and contributing to another successful season. We can now reveal the following winners:-

Gross Eclectic - Milan Gurung
Nett Eclectic - David Trent
Captains Bowl - Daniel Stapley
Captains Dish - Christopher White

A big thank you to everyone who has supported our events throughout the year. If you've not yet joined a competition and want to meet new people drop me a message or book into a competition on How Did I Do.

We look forward to celebrating the seasons achievements with the winners at our upcoming presentation evening on 15th November, invitations will be sent tomorrow.

Attached are the full list of winners this year as well as the results of the Eclectic's and Order of Merit

Best regards,

Mike Wilkinson

The Digital Wallet Cashless Journey

Based on members requests and feedback to the Captains the committee is making moves to adopt a cashless system for initially paying competition entry fees digitally. There has been a great deal of work setting this up and understanding the processes necessary to make it happen. The plan is for the 2nd Foxtrotters competition in July to be cashless, that should provide a good test and understanding of the process and the financial understanding so that the comp is accurately recorded in the accounts.
In preparation for cashless, it would be helpful if you could ensure you have both the HowDidIDo and Club V1 Hub apps installed on your mobiles. Both of these can also be accessed from a PC using the links below. If you get stuck there is no need to panic it is only the 2nd Foxtrotter comp in July that is going to be cashless, the Mens and Ladies comps will follow and emails will be sent out in preparation.
However, if you are felling confident and want to try and load your competition balance ready for when cashless arrives for comps you enter then there is a link below that explains.
Further updates will follow, at this stage this news is intended to let you know how its going.
