Girton Golf Club

The morning after the day before.

36 holes, two rounds, and everything golf should be. Explosive golf, long putts holed under pressure, incredible shots and no shortage of missed opportunities too. But if there is one thing nobody can take away from yesterday, it is the endurance, skill and love of the game shown by 54 competitors out at The Peaks.

Thank you to everyone who took part

The Club Championship Handicap Trophy went all the way to a three-hole playoff, with Gavin Dolling, Jack Thorpe and James B Williams all finishing locked together on 134 strokes. It was Jack who came through in the end, holing a birdie on the 18th to win it on the third playoff hole. Fantastic effort from Gavin and James; what a battle.

Scratch Club Champion is Jack Thorpe with 136. Second place goes to Zac Cooke on 138, with Paul Tiplady third on 142

And with the season now complete, the Order of Merit champions are confirmed. Net Champion, Jaco Cronje on 404. Scratch Champion, Jack Thorpe on 422.

Congratulations to Jaco and Jack, and congratulations to every single person who competed this year. Thank you.

The full gallery will be with you shortly. Happy Sunday.

Under an hour to go now; Round 1 tees off this morning.

On the 1st tee, Charles Dunn and Roger Ray start at 8am, followed by Matthew Bate and Gavin Lakey at 8.08am.

On the 10th tee, David Walker and Michael Vazquez start at 8am, followed by Jonathan Gilbert, Gavin Dolling and Simon Manning at 8.08am.

Good luck to everyone playing today; hit them straight and enjoy the round.

Good luck to everyone teeing it up today.

Club Championship day has arrived, and it promises to be one of the best days of the season.

Every shot counts today. Every hole matters. Play well, enjoy every minute, and give it everything you have got.

See you out on The Peaks

The gross and nett Club Championship trophies are up for grabs, and with them the final chapter of the season: the Net and Gross Order of Merit Champion trophies will also be presented.

To add a bit of extra spice to proceedings, we have put together a friendly sweepstake for the day. Have a go at calling the gross and nett winners for round one, the gross and nett winners for round two, and who will be crowned Champion of all Champions.

Just a bit of fun, no money and no prizes on the line, though the sharpest guesses might just find a couple of beverages heading their way.

Every shot counts. Every hole matters. Who has what it takes?

See you on The Peaks.

We have put together a special page just for Saturday the 15th August; everything you need for the big day in one place, right here tinyurl.com/girtongolf

Head there for live scores and leaderboard updates as the two rounds unfold, the tee sheet so you know exactly when your group is out, player progress tracking through the day, and all the details on the End of Season Royal Girton Scratch Team Party happening after play with music, prizes and a blindfolded putting competition.

There is even a bit of fun with an OOM prediction odds board where you can back who you think will come out on top, just for laughs, no real betting involved.

This is a one-off, built purely for Championship weekend. Once the trophies are handed out, the page comes down. We put it together to bring the club together, get everyone talking, and show off what a brilliant day of golf looks like.

Follow along live this Saturday tinyurl.com/girtongolf

Good luck to everyone teeing it up.

This weekend it all comes down to this

The Peaks hosts the Club Championship, thirty-six holes of pure test, endurance, skill and concentration pushed to the limit. One day. Two rounds. No hiding.

Who takes the scratch title? Who takes the handicap crown? And with the last points of the season up for grabs, who walks away as Order of Merit Champion 2026?

Every shot counts. Every hole matters. Who has what it takes?

See you on The Peaks.

Get ready for one of the biggest days on the calendar. The Men's Championship on Saturday, the 15th August.

This is thirty-six holes in a single day, a true test of skill and stamina, and the lowest thirty-six-hole gross score will be crowned Girton Golf Club Champion.

If scores are tied, a three-hole playoff over the eighth, ninth and eighteenth will settle it as soon as all cards are back in. If a player is in the running for both the gross and nett competitions, the nett result will be decided on countback.

Prizes are up for grabs for gross, nett overall, and for the best morning and afternoon rounds in both gross and nett. The presentation takes place after play and will also include the Order of Merit trophies.

Playing on the day? We have a special lunch package to keep you fuelled between rounds. Choose a ciabatta from chicken caesar salad, ham cheese and chutney, or halloumi with roasted peppers and sweet chilli and rocket, served with a bag of crisps and a soft drink, all for nine pounds fifty while stocks last.

To guarantee your lunch and a quick turnaround before your afternoon eighteen, pre-order with Giuseppe at the bar by Thursday the 13th August.

Chair of the Board of Directors

Four generations of the Cooke family, all playing their part at Girton Golf Club. Grandad, Dad, Son, Grandson and now Great Grandson too, all part of the same club, all part of the same story.

How many other clubs can say that? We do not think there are many. This is what makes Girton so special. Golf here is not just a game; it is something that gets passed down.

We are proud to have the legends of the Cooke family as part of our club.
