25th August 2025 Silver Salvers – Mixed Greensomes Medal
We opened up the Silver Salvers this year to any pairing for inclusivity as this has in the past been for a mixed pair only. The actual winners of the Trophy would follow the tradition of a mixed pairing winning, however the competition on the day could be won by any pairing. Unfortunately, it didn’t see a great number of entries. Mayve it was due to the last Bank holiday of the year. We did however get a field of 16 pairings on the day.
The winners were Charlie Hwang & Jasmine Kim with an impressive nett 66, Second were Sylvia Kempsell & Mervyn Wynard with a nett 68, Third were Jill Olsen and Roger Singleton with a nett 69 on countback. From third to seventh all pairings were on a nett 69.
Congratulations to the winners.
16th August Professional Day
Unfortunately, I was nursing my golfer’s elbow whilst walking around Weymouth and missed the Professional Day. From all the golfers I have spoken to it was a very well run and enjoyable day at the club. Hopefully there will be more events to come.

3rd August 2025 Men’s Captain’s Day
A massive thank you to all those that took part in my Captain’s day on Sunday 3rd August with well over £2,500 being raised for the Crossroads Care Surrey and 4Louis.
A field of 83 headed out to do battle and in the end two points separated the top seen players.
After brief “thank you” to all those who worked hard to ensure that the day ran well, Christine Jacobs gave a summary of the great works Crossroads Care Surrey provide. Christine having put herself out to attend, which was much appreciated as it was her child’s birthday.
Congratulations go to John Pearson (a popular winner) on the day winning with 40 points, Alex Hayzelden-Hughes with 39 points, Tom Byrne on Countback third with 38 points followed by Ben Klinger on Countback fourth with 38 points.
Neale Higgs won the shootout on the 18th for all those who has either had a nearest the PIN, Longest drive or Straightest drive! Most of The Past Captains all were their Captains blazers and there was a great atmosphere on the patio after all the presentations.
My thanks again to everyone for all the support and for making my Captains day one to remember
Cheers
Keith Stinson, Men’s Club Captain
