We were delighted and privileged to host the Northumberland Seniors County Championship at Ponteland Golf Club over the past few days.
Despite a mixed final day of heavy showers and gusty winds, the event showcased some outstanding golf!
It was particularly pleasing to see some of our own members competing strongly and featuring prominently on the leaderboard throughout the championship.
A huge thank you goes to our members for their support in holding this event, Craig and our Greenstaff for their exceptional work in preparing the course, Victoria and our clubhouse team for their excellent service, Northumberland Union Golf Club Secretary Simon Coultas for the smooth organisation and running of the event and of course our own member, NUGC Past President Brian Aisbitt.
Congratulations to Senior County Champion Steve Anderton on claiming his first Seniors Championship title, edging out Sandy Twynholm by a single stroke. Congratulations also to Paul Kester, winner of the R W Johnson Decanter, and David Peel, winner of the Tim Bull Cup.
We wish Steve the very best of luck as he goes on to represent Northumberland at the County Champion of Champions event at Woodhall Spa in September.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the championship such a successful and enjoyable occasion.
