Santa’s Scramble.
Ninety‑four players turned out for this years Santa’s Scramble, braving a touch of festive fog to get things underway.
Despite a week of soggy weather, the course looked far better than anyone had a right to expect — all thanks to Adam, our Head Greenkeeper, and his merry band of helpers.
Their hard work kept the Christmas spirits high and the fairways surprisingly friendly.
Santa himself made a surprise appearance throughout the day — checking scorecards twice, inspecting putts with a twinkle in his eye, and keeping a close watch to ensure no one tried to sneak a mulligan into their stocking.
