Congratulations to our New Club Champion for 2022 - Morton Bailey who recorded a 146 total (+6). Congratulations also go to Jimmy Jones for winning the Nick O’Byrne Trophy (best nett score). Well played guys.

Thanks go to all the organisers, staff and greens team.

It was a really warm day with challenging conditions - this was not the first time the Ladies Championship has been played in a testing environment!

Well done to all the players and particular congratulations to all the winners.

Our thanks go to Bernice Lowe and Bev Davis for all their event organisation and administration.
Thanks also go to the green keepers for presenting the course so nicely despite the lack of moisture.

Congratulations to the West Hove Scratch Team for reaching the Wellesley Scratch Plate Knockout Final. West Hove narrowly beat Crowborough Beacon at East Brighton last Saturday. The overall match finished 6-6 so the match went to a play off and West Hove won on the 2nd extra hole. We will play Royal Eastbourne in the final (venue to be announced) on Saturday 20 August. Once we know the venue we will let you know so you can come along and support the team.

Congratulations to Brian Harding who recently had his first ever hole in one last Tuesday on the 3rd hole with a 6 iron. Well done Brian!

We would like to say a massive thank you to all the members of West Hove Golf Club who kindly sponsored myself and Paul for our epic, 72 hole challenge at Littlehampton Golf Club to raise money for MACMILLAN Cancer Support.

We would like to say a special thank you to Steve Thatcher who was there at 5am to see us off, what a nice touch.

The first 18 holes went quite quickly and after a short break we were off again and finished our second round at 12.15. After an hour’s rest we were teeing up again for our third round. After another 18 holes there was a welcome sight awaiting us at the clubhouse in the shape of my husband and his brother who had come to caddy for us. So, without further delay we headed off towards the dunes for the last time and both shot our best rounds of the day.

As we walked down the 18th fairway we looked back on what had been a hard but enjoyable day. After putting out we both collapsed on the green and agreed that whilst we were very proud of our achievement, next year we will let someone else have a go! With a fond fairwell we went home to a much needed sit down and a cup of tea.

It took us 16 hours to but was well worth it. With your help we managed to raise £1015 which was way beyond what we were expecting. Once again, thank you for your support.

The Queens Jubilee Texas Scramble was a great event. It was lovely to see all sections of the clubs playing together. Well done Club Captain Lee Bonaldi for coming up with the idea!
