WW 2026/5 - Tyneside, 31/05/26
Tyneside is a regular fixture on the Wanderers annual tour of North East Golf Courses for a few good reasons. It's relatively local for everyone, usually in great condition and we always get a warm welcome and this year was no different. Unlike our previous gathering at Billingham we had a good turnout of 17 players enjoying the late spring sunshine making it a great day for golfing.
Once out on the course the conditions were perfect and the course was beautiful though the rough was quite dense in places meaning there were quite a few lost balls as we went round. Lets hope everyone restocks before our next gathering, our annual Weekend Away trip to play for the Borders Championship trophy.
Tyneside was also round one of this season's Three Rivers Challenge. We have slightly altered the format, this season will comprise of the rounds at Tyneside, Middlesbrough and Chester-Le-Street Click HERE for more details.
Now for the results, following post match card scrutiny here are the top three -
In third place (after countback) with 31pts came Alan Welsh.
In second place with 34pts came Steve Grant.
And the winner with 35pts (40 with win bonus) was Gordon Grant.
The Longest Drive category was won by Alan Welsh. Michael Brace won the Nearest the Pin category with 6.10m, his second category win in succession. Once again no "Two's"were carded though sixty six nett birdies were carded. .
Congratulations to the above, As mentioned earlier our next gathering is our Weekend Away trip to North Yorkshire on Saturday & Sunday 13-14/6/26. Full information will be released later this week & looking forward to seeing you there.
