Seaton Carew Golf Club’s annual Festival of Golf attracted more than 1,000 golfers from across the UK.
The six-day tournament week, now in its 26th year, saw players travel from as far as Hampshire, Suffolk, Northumberland and Cumbria to compete over the historic links.
“Our annual Festival of Golf has once again proven to be a massive success,” said club secretary Roy Leonard. “Over the six days, we had more than 1,000 golfers grace our links and, without exception, they were all highly complementary of what was presented to them. Comments ranged from ‘the best links I’ve played’ to ‘the best run tournament I’ve attended,’ so we must be doing something right.”
The highlight of the week came on Wednesday when Nigel Gregg from Ripon City Golf Club aced the sixth hole (Mashie) with a seven-iron during the Gents Four Man Waltz competition.
Roy added: “Our thanks go to everyone who played and everyone who helped make the week a success – our greens staff, the bar and catering team, our professional team, our administrators and, of course, our fantastic band of volunteer starters.”
