120th Anniversary Mixed Open
6th September 2025

It was great to welcome back visiting mixed pairs for the Mixed Open, as the competition had been postponed in 2024. The weather was cool and dry – ideal for some low scoring golf.
The prizes all went to Home Couples, with Tyron and Karen Currie taking first prize with a very commendable 47 points. The runners up were Geoff and Chris Pearce with 43 points on a card count back from Paul and Chris Burton in third.
Tyron had a particularly good round and took the Nearest the Pin Prize on the 6th, with Martin Porter winning NTP on the 14th
Jan Moore from Ulverston won the Golfing Voucher Raffle Prize.
