Every year to celebrate Goodwood Revival we host a special Revival golf competition for players to play The Downs course with Hickory clubs. It is always a well-supported event by Members and non-members alike, and this year we had 80 players attend the day.
Players are encouraged to get into the spirit of the event by dressing in Revival-inspired golf attire, and getting out to play the course with Hickory clubs.
We were fortunate to have a very warm sunny day, which would have been appreciated, had it been a little cooler. Unfortunately, with most players dressed in tweed, this did somewhat impact the golf.
This didn’t impact the enjoyment of the game at all, this may have had a little something to do with the little bottles of liveners in the fabulous tin lunch boxes, and gin stop at Braid's Lounge on the 1st!
Players also got the chance to play the designer of The Downs course, James Braid, otherwise known as Golf At Goodwood’s, Will Doyle, for a shoot-out on the 12th.
Everyone was kept well-fuelled throughout the day with a hog roast on the 1st hole, lunch at the Gazebo and various drinks and snacks at the 12th hole.
Following an exciting morning of Revival Golf and prize-giving golfers headed to the Motor Circuit for an afternoon of motor racing at Revival.
This is such a well-received and enjoyable annual event. And what it shows is that playing with Hickory clubs doesn’t always mean the golfers play worse, as shown in some of the great scores from this event.
See the results below:
- 1st - David M Carter & Martin Newark - 39
- 2nd - Paul Millard & Adam Sandieson – 38
- Best Dressed - David McIntosh & Toby Woodfine
- 8th Hole - Nearest the Pin - James Heywood
