Now this was a day to be out on the golf course. Blue skies, sunshine, and barely a whisper of wind. The kind of perfect autumn conditions that make you forget every bad shot you’ve ever hit, at least until the next one.

With weather like that, it’s no surprise the scoring was sharp and a few players took full advantage.

Final Word

It doesn’t get much better than days like this. Sunshine, calm conditions, and a course that rewards good golf and occasionally the odd bit of brilliance.

Congratulations to all our winners, and especially Tom James, who managed to tick just about every box - winning the stableford, making 2 twos (including an eagle) and sneaking in on the birdie hole too. Scoring, style, and a little bit of magic on 13.

If this is autumn golf, we’ll take it every week. See you all again soon!
