Hexham Golf Club

I took up golf 17 years ago and joined Hexham Golf Club in 2001.

Having lived in Tynedale all my life I always knew that Hexham’s parkland course, overlooking the Tyne Valley, was very special. I do so enjoy the challenge of the course every time I play.

We have a very friendly ladies section with the committee working well together making it a very happy club.

I have been ladies handicap secretary for 6 years and this year it is an honour to be Lady Captain. My Vice-Captain is Elizabeth Bramwell, we have known each other a long time and I look forward to working with her.
Our competitions are drawn and the main ladies day is a Tuesday, working ladies have the opportunity to play competitions at the weekends.

The club is very active, fielding two teams in County league matches, and two knockout teams. We have friendly matches and an away day each year, which will be to Penrith Golf Club in August this year.

We welcome new members and we always arrange for them to have a playing partner.

Happy Golfing in 2012.
