Family Foursomes Golf
Sunday 21 April was the perfect day for golf this year and we had a bumper number of parents, pupils and alumni register to join us for the afternoon.
WHAT AN AMAZING DAY, IT WAS GREAT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY GOLF WITH MY SON AND SEE MANY OTHERS FROM BRADFIELD.

The event is hosted each year to showcase the Golf Course and involves a wide variety of players of different abilities. In this anniversary year, it was pleasing that the course was full. Competitors played for four prizes: Best Stableford Score as a pair which was won by parent Sean Shapcott and his son Grant (C). Best Stableford Score as an individual was won by Bradfieldian James Grant (G 80-85). Nearest the Pin and Nearest the Pin in two were won by current students Sam (G) and Charlie (F) respectively.
Other Bradfieldians playing included Charlie Kitson (G 80-85) playing with friend and contemporary James Grant and Michael Constantine (F 06-11) playing with his father Simon. Thank you to everyone who came along; Family Foursomes is a lovely event and one of the most popular in the Bradfield Society calendar so we would encourage anyone interested in playing next year to sign up early to avoid disappointment, visit Events | The Bradfield Society for our forthcoming events programme.
Golf Course 25th Anniversary Celebrations
On Saturday 8 June we welcomed past and present members, Captains, Cup Winners, Old Bradfieldians, parents and pupils to the Bradfield course for two 18-hole matches with nearly 40 participants each. The quality of the golf on the day was high with a keen competitive yet friendly spirit amongst players. Lunch was enjoyed by all who attended on the day, players and spectators alike, 100 people sat together to share stories and reminisce about past and present successes while toasting the winners.
Individual and Team Winners were presented with prizes donated by our Club President James Strang, our Golf Pro Simon McGreal and our sponsors for the event The Padel Hub & Renegade Brewery.
Much of the success of the event needs to be attributed to the hard work of the Golf Course Green Keepers; Alex, Will and Joe who worked tirelessly beforehand and on the day to ensure the course was in perfect condition.
The Anniversary was a lovely opportunity to invite back all our founding members who originally helped the Golf Course become a reality and we look forward to our next excuse for a celebration.
