Seniors Medal No. 2 – Competition Report

With many of the regulars away representing the section in the match against Birstall, the second Seniors Medal of the season was a more intimate affair, with 22 players taking to the course. With numbers reduced, the field was combined into one division, but the competition remained as keen as ever.

It was Stu Newland who rose above the pack, returning an excellent nett 67 (73–6) to claim top spot and the £17 first prize. A tidy round, steady throughout, and fully deserving of the win.

In second place, Steve Wilson posted a solid nett 69 (81–12), earning £15 and keeping the pressure on the leader. Just behind him came Bill Litchfield, whose nett 72 (92–20) secured third place and £13.

Rounding out the prize winners was L.ance Rosie, carding a nett 73 (80–7) to take fourth place and £11.

The £5 card draw went to John Hopwood, who will no doubt claim it was all down to skill rather than luck.

Because so many players were away on match duty, an additional Medal No. 2B has been added to the fixture list for Tuesday 4th June, subject to availability—giving everyone a fair crack at the early‑season medals.

A smaller field, but still a competitive and enjoyable morning’s golf, with some excellent scoring at the top of the leaderboard.

All winnings will be credited to your bar card in due course.

Seniors Inter‑Club Match Report

Beeston Fields vs Birstall (Home)

Thursday 30th April 2026

The Seniors Team continued their excellent early‑season momentum with a commanding 6½–1½ home victory over Birstall. Sunshine once again accompanied the golf, and Beeston made the most of it, securing wins in the first three and last three matches.

One of the stories of the day came from Tony Gilbert and Malcolm Leivers, who produced a remarkable comeback to earn a half after being six down—a rescue act that will be talked about for quite some time.

The standout win belonged to Match 2, where Matt and Dave delivered an impressive 5&3 result. Close behind were Match 6 (Keith and Rob) and Match 8 (John and Dave), both finishing with confident 4&3 victories.

This strong performance means Beeston Fields are now the temporary custodians of the antique wooden egg‑cup trophy, contested over the two annual matches with Birstall. With such a healthy first‑leg lead, the challenge now is to avoid any complacency ahead of the away fixture in July—after all, the egg‑cup may be old, but it still demands respect.

Thanks to all who played and contributed to another excellent team performance.

Seniors Inter‑Club Match vs Chilwell Manor – Match Report

Monday 20th April 2026

The Seniors Team opened the 2026 season in style with a solid 5–3 victory over Chilwell Manor at home. The tone was set early when Bob Jones clipped the pin with his second shot on the 1st hole, prompting a raised eyebrow or two from the opposition as they confirmed his 28 handicap.

Beeston secured two tight wins in Match 1 (Bob & Phil) and Match 5 (Marcus & John), while more decisive victories came courtesy of Match 2 (Mike & Richard) and Match 7 (Rob & Julian). The standout performance of the day belonged to Matt & Ade, who delivered a commanding 6&5 win in the final match — proof that a Forest fan and a Derby County fan can work together when there are points on the line.

A strong start, a great team effort, and an encouraging platform for what promises to be an enjoyable and competitive season. Thanks to all who played. Full results in the news section
