Rushden Golf Club is hosting its customary Ladies Open, and this year’s edition promises to be as electrifying as ever.

For a fee of £32 per person, visitors can join teams of three and revel in an offering that extends beyond the fairways. The entry fee not only covers participation in the event but also includes warm hospitality with coffee or tea upon arrival and a hot meal to round off the experience after you’ve tackled the course.

A noteworthy addition to this year’s event is the return of the Surprize Shop, an established purveyor of ladies golf clothing and accessories. Players will have the chance to explore a variety of golfing wares, making it the perfect occasion to stock up on the latest trends and essentials for the golf season.

To ensure participation in the Ladies Open, aspiring entrants are encouraged to proceed to the booking link featured in the promotional image or can reach out directly via email to the organizers. With organizational ease a priority, the Rushden team stands ready to assist with the booking process.

Korineum Golf & Beach Resort once again played host to the 16th Kauko Cup, a tournament memorializing the vision of Finnish businessman and golf enthusiast Kauko Rastas. This year’s edition saw 65 contenders vying for the title, with an array of international participants converging from various countries, including Finland, to honor the legacy that helped birth the stunning course in Northern Cyprus.

Emerging victorious was Gareth Griffths, whose impressive 41 points earned him the top spot on the leaderboard. Griffths’ performance was the highlight of an event that equally celebrated the communal spirit of the golfing fraternity and the competitive zest that characterizes this annual gathering.

The trophy for Best Gross was clinched by Soner Yetkili, showcasing exceptional skill and consistency throughout the tournament. Süha Akpınar followed closely, securing the Second Place, with Lee Ivers rounding out the top three amidst intense competition.

In the special categories, James Jang took home the Longest Drive Men’s title, while Pirjo Kortesoja reaffirmed her prowess with the Longest Drive amongst the ladies. Yet, it was Tima Hamalainen who delivered the tournament’s marquee moment with a Hole in One, capturing the Closest to Pin accolade and sparking celebrations.

The 16th Kauko Cup not only celebrated the game but fostered the bonds of friendship and sportsmanship that remain the cornerstone of the Korineum Golf & Beach Resort.

As the British weather continued its usual dreary narrative, the veterans of Grim’s Dyke Golf Club offered a stark contrast with a sizzling performance that set the stage at Stanmore. With a series of impressive early season wins under their belt, the Vets team approached the derby with a confidence that resonated through the fairways. After four matches, the score was deadlocked at 2-2, setting a dramatic tone for the remaining games.

The tide turned in the fifth match, where everything hung in the balance until a masterful chip by Grim’s Dyke fell just an inch shy of the 18th pin, clinching the match. The momentum carried into match 6, which the Grim’s Dyke team closed out comfortably, securing a memorable 4-2 victory over their local rivals.

The victors extended their gratitude to the hosts at Stanmore Golf Club, not only for the competition but for the warm hospitality that included a superb lunch and the traditional pre-match custard creams with coffee, enjoyed perhaps a little too heartily by some team members who might’ve benefitted from a bit more ‘loosening up in the nets’.
