Mew Wins Fifth Seniors Title

The Seniors Championships took place at the beautifully presented Brokenhurst Manor Golf Club in the New Forest on the 20th and 21st of May. The course was firm but fair, providing a great test for a full field of competitors. Richard Elmes led the way after day one with a composed level-par round, closely followed by clubmates and friendly rivals Alan Mew and Andy Bow.

In the Nett Trophy, Elmes was also among the front-runners alongside Adam Bushell and local favourite Idris Vernall heading into the second round.

Overnight rain softened the course slightly for day two, creating more scoring opportunities. Despite the more receptive conditions, only a few players managed to improve on their opening rounds, with Brokenhurst standing up well to the challenge.

The championship concluded with an exciting finish. Alan Mew produced a steady level-par round to claim a four-shot victory, capitalising on a late stumble from Elmes, who carded a second-round 76.

Idris Vernall delighted the home crowd with a superb performance, bettering his opening nett 67 with an impressive 66—remarkably beating his age on both days!

A big thank you goes to the team at Brokenhurst Manor for providing an outstanding course, welcoming clubhouse, and first-class facilities for this year’s championship.
