Handicap League Success at the Links again

Saturday 19th September saw The Links Handicap Team take On Royal Cromer at The Links in the final match of Division 6 of The Handicap League. Knowing a point would be enough to secure back to back promotions, the team were under no illusion that their best golf would be needed.
Leading us out were former Cromer members Martin Lawes and Andrew Neave who knew many of the opposition from their years at Cromer. Next out was the ever reliable David Bayle and the in form Keith Phillips, followed by Captain Adrian Hannant and Thomas Hall who was representing The Links for the first time this season. The last pairing was Paul Howell who teamed up with the unbeaten Mason Hannant.
A fantastic match was played out in great competitive spirit and banter but it was the Links who came out on top winning the match 3-1 and secured promotion to Division 5. The players from both teams stayed for a couple of drinks and we wish Cromer the very best for next season.
Captain Adrian Hannant would like to thank all the players who took part in this years league, each and everyone played an important role in the success. Thanks must also go to the members who supported the team and marshalled the roads on home competitions.
Back to back promotions is a remarkable accomplishment and we should all be proud of the success that our small club achieves.

Captains Away Weekend 2026

Lakeside Lodge Golf Club, Pidley

15 golfers descended on Lakeside Lodge Golf Club, Pidley, for the annual Captains Away Weekend and with the sun shining and the alcohol flowing, it turned out to be a fantastic weekend from start to finish!

Everyone enjoyed themselves, indulging in the excellent food on offer, witnessing some awesome golf shots and most importantly, enjoying the camaraderie that makes these weekends so special.

Of course, for some of the younger members of the group, the atmosphere proved a little too tempting. Overindulgence and fatigue began to take their toll on the golf course! Ex-Captain Ryan left plenty to be desired with his golf, but managed to display a level of class on the bowling alley to save face. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Kane Waldron, who produced a questionable 25-34-25 Stableford haul across the three days to claim the wooden spoon!

Now, down to what really matters… the golf competition.

Three days of Stableford golf were played in near-perfect weather conditions on a course that has endured a hard summer but nonetheless, was looking in incredible condition.

🥉3rd - Adrian Hannant - 107 Points (OCB)
4th - Alex Shepherd - 107 Points
5th - Tom Hall, Dave Bates, Martin Lawes & Mason Hannant - 102 Points each

While many players performed admirably, there was one man who set the standard throughout the weekend, extending his lead with every passing day.

Keith Phillips, known affectionately over the weekend as ‘El Bandito’, produced a level of golf that was simply unmatched. Calls for a handicap cut echoed throughout the weekend, although thankfully all were made in good humour!

Keith rounded off his weekend with a fine speech on the final day, thanking everyone for making it such a fantastic weekend and generously donating money towards the Captain’s Charity.

As Ryan’s final act as Club Captain, it was a memorable send-off before he and his family welcome their second child very soon.

A huge well done to everyone who took part. The laughter was contagious, the golf was entertaining, the banter was relentless and, most importantly, the weekend was a fantastic success!

Here’s to the next one!

There was a brilliant turn out for The Links Ladies Queen Elizabeth Cup. It was a cup, kindly donated on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, by Kate Attenborough, in order that we could commemorate her amazing reign each year at this time. Today 14 Ladies played the 9 hole cup as the drizzly weather blew over into lovely sunshine. The winner of the cup was Jane Davies (19 points), Sue Monteath 2nd place (18 points) and Denise Howell 3rd with 17 points. Coffees and drinks were enjoyed in the sunshine with the usual nattering and catching up on our weekend jaunts and social events.

The Links Ladies had the absolute pleasure of hosting Bawburgh's Ladies for a friendly today. Whilst the result was a draw, much of the conversation was about how our friendlies were just that, it didn't matter who had won, we thoroughly enjoyed showing them around our course and all it's "quirks"(including the gusty wind!), having fun and making new golf friends. The Links Hotel laid on a lovely spread of sandwiches and cakes which was enjoyed by all. We have already set the date for our return match and will very much look forward to it. Our thanks to a lovely group of ladies that made our day at The Links.
