Reflecting on a fantastic week hosting The Halford Hewitt. The flags of each of the 64 schools were raised to mark the Centenary of the championship.

Congratulations to Forest who have won The Prince’s Plate.

Good luck to our Finalists.

“Have fun” reads the final point on The Halford Hewitt players’ card.

We hope the players are doing just that.

The Club colours.

Green, blue and yellow signify the land, sea & sand, with red representing the blood that was spilt along the coast & the Club’s involvement in wartime events.

Members say perhaps the red should represent the amount of red wine consumed in the clubhouse!

A high lob? A bump & run? Or even a putt? The undulations around our greens can really test your short game.

Golf from the beach. Have you played from our Sea Wall tees before?

Match Dinners - Last Friday we held our first Match Dinner of the year.

Match Dinners were introduced with the intention of helping newer members get to know a full range of characters within the Club by arranging games of foursomes golf during a fun evening.
