THE 2024 season at Holsworthy Golf Club has got off to a flying start with both the weather and the competition hotting up.
The club cup competitions kicked off in the first quarter with The Holsworthy Par Cup being played on April 27, a pairs competition that was won by Brian Spearing and Den Cook with a net round of 65.

The Spiller Cup was played for on May 12, and a stunning round of golf from Richard Jones, with a net round of 63, beating the field by seven shots, enabled him to lift the trophy.

The first 36-hole competition of the year, the Coombe Cup, was held on May 26, with all 36 holes being played on the same day. The first round was close, but Mark Bellew had an excellent final round and lifted the trophy as a result.

Finally, one of our feature competitions of the year, our ‘best of the best’, Medal Winners final, which features all members who have won a monthly medal over the previous 12 months was held on June 1.
Sixteen members across two divisions were able to take part, with Den Cook lifting the trophy for 2023/2024 with a best round of the year so far, being 73 gross, 63 net. An excellent score and a deserved winner.
