SEASON FINALE — THE OLDER THE BETTER!

 

What a way to wrap up the season at Oakridge Golf Club on Saturday — proof positive that you don't need to be young to be brilliant, and you definitely don't need a low handicap to be champion!

 

PADDY O'REILLY — CHAMPION GOLFER OF THE YEAR!

 

Huge congratulations to Paddy, who bagged his second major of the year and claimed the big one — Champion Golfer of the Year!

 

Paddy plays off a generous handicap, but don't let that fool you — he plays the game sensibly, keeps it on the fairway, and is easily our most consistent golfer. Though we should mention he does have a rather creative habit of suddenly developing mysterious injuries whenever a tricky match looms… "Oh dear, my back!"

We see you Paddy
— but your scorecard doesn't lie, and thoroughly deserved it is!

 

ALAN MAIDMENT — KO CUP CHAMPION!

 

And then there was the showdown for the KO Cup — a final that went all the way to a single playoff hole between our two major winners. And when the dust settled, it was Alan Maidment who stood tall, beating Paddy to lift the KO Cup — making him yet another multiple major winner this season! Alan joins that exclusive club — well played, sir!

 

THE OLDEST SWINGERS IN TOWN

 

The headline story though? The youngsters got put firmly in their place. Two of our most experienced, most seasoned players walked away with the silverware. Proof that wisdom, experience, and keeping your head down beats youth and wild swings every single time.

 

To Paddy and Alan — two absolute legends of the society — massive congratulations! And to everyone else — there's always next year… or maybe just a few more practice rounds at the pub until then!

 

See you all for the 2027 season — can't wait!
 

What a way to wrap up the season at Oakridge Golf Club on Saturday — and what a great course it is too! well kept, with beautiful fairways and greens that were a joy to play — truly a fantastic venue for our big day. And we couldn't have asked for better weather — glorious warm sunshine made it feel like summer all over again!

Big thanks to the Oakridge team too — the service was excellent from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble. A big shout out to chef! A top bloke!

 

A special mention for the post-round refreshments — the cold Guinness went down an absolute treat, and that steak and ale pie? Absolutely spot on — every single one of us loved it. Proper hearty food after a round of golf — just what the doctor ordered!

 

Numbers were a little lower than we'd hoped, which was a shame — but we know why! It seems we picked the one day the whole Midlands wanted to be elsewhere — Aston Villa at home AND Blues vs Albion on the same afternoon!

No worries though — those who made it had a brilliant time, and we missed the football chaos anyway.

 

Would we return? A big yes from us!
