LEOMINSTER Golf Club recently held their club championship when Ryan Painter was the victor.

Meanwhile, fellow Leominster member Heather Cass recently recorded a hole in one last month during Leominster’s match versus The Herefordshire.

Ross Golf Club's 2024 Championship Knock-out Finals day held recently provided members with an intriguing 36 holes of match play golf to decide who would become their Men's Champion.

As both finalists in Cam Haines and Dan Evans were scratch World Handicap Index players, a close contest was envisaged and so it proved. 

Evans joined the club two years ago and was appearing in his first Club Championship Final, and suitably the match was all-square at the half-way point.

As Haines has been Ross Men's Club Champion in four of the past seven years, he began to show his quality and experience and a run of three birdies in four holes saw him on the brink of victory being three up with just five holes to play.

Evans responded brilliantly and with an exceptional birdie on the highly challenging 17th and his 35th hole.

However, Haines made a nervous five footer on the final green to claim his fifth title and was joined by his family for the after-match celebrations.
