Introduction
Our shared passion for golf, and in particular for Boughton Golf Club, has brought us together as a community. As always, I remain committed to fostering camaraderie, sportsmanship, and the continual improvement of our club.
Acknowledgments and Thanks
I would like to express my sincere thanks to the entire BGC management team for their dedication and hard work. The professional golf team at Cave, led by Steve Mitchell, has provided outstanding support and assistance throughout 2025. Our appreciation also goes to Cave’s catering team, who have consistently delivered excellent food while keeping costs down. We have also enjoyed some special taster menus this year, and we look forward to more in the future. Special thanks are due to John and Sarah for their contributions. I look forward to continuing our strong relationship with all these teams into 2026.
Club Achievements
As highlighted in the captains’ reports, our teams have achieved significant successes this year, with particular recognition for the Veterans, who won their league. I am excited to see them represent us with pride and anticipate more great results in the upcoming year.
Course Conditions and Improvements
At the beginning of 2025, we faced an unusual amount of wet weather, resulting in more course closure days than at any other time in the club’s 33-year history. Looking forward, I hope we will see essential drainage projects undertaken in 2026 to mitigate such issues in the future.
Club Resources
Our updated ClubV1 system has become a highly valuable resource for club members. I am confident that you have all enjoyed using its features, particularly the website and document sections.
Volunteering and Club Management
We are always seeking to share the responsibilities of running the club by welcoming more volunteers. Thank you to everyone currently serving on the management team—without your commitment, our club would not be as well-organized and professional as it is. As always, additional help is welcomed and greatly appreciated.
Looking Ahead
I would like to extend a warm welcome to the 2026 Club Captain, Tony Ray; Seniors Captain, Kevin Askham; Super Seventies Captain, Tony Miller; and Junior Captain (to be announced). I am confident that we will have an enjoyable and successful year ahead.
