What a competition. We have never seen a results sheet quite like this one!

The Ladies Titleist 4-ball Better-ball, previously known as the Ping Pairs, brought some absolutely unbelievable drama to the club this week. In fact, we don’t think a result like this will ever be repeated anywhere again!

When the final cards came in, we had an unprecedented, massive tie at the top with five pairs scoring an incredible **38 points**. To separate the field, the countback rules had to be pushed to the absolute limit, checking the back 9, back 6, back 3, and down to the single holes.

A huge congratulations to all our incredible competitors. Here are the final standings:

🥇 **1st Place:** Julie Smyth & Maxine Wagstaff – Took the top spot with a brilliant 20 on the back 9 and 14 on the back 6.
🥈 **2nd Place:** Sally Burnell & Aileen Stockton – Secured a close second, matching the 20 on the back 9 and delivering 12 on the back 6.
🥉 **3rd Place:** Lynda Robinson & Sharon Holden – Clinched third place after a fantastic performance, breaking clear of the remaining pack with a superb 18 on the back 9.
👏 **4th Place:** Ann O'Neill & Mary Cresham – Pushed the field all the way, finishing with a brilliant 17 on the back 9, 12 on the back 6, 7 on the back 3, and 3 on the back 1.
👏 **5th Place:** Jennifer Hammond & Suzanne Jobling – Rounded out the top tier, matching the field with a fantastic 16 on the back 9.

To have five pairs all finish on the exact same winning score is practically unheard of, what a testament to how competitive our ladies section is!

We hope everyone who took part had a truly brilliant day.

🌍 Celebrating World Environment Day at Drax Golf Club 🌿

Today, we join the global community in observing World Environment Day, a moment to reflect on our responsibility as stewards of the Yorkshire landscape.

At Drax, we are more than just a golf destination; we are pioneers in sustainable sport. Building on our commitment to ecological conservation, we recently completed a landmark partnership with Humber Forest and The Conservation Volunteers (TCV), successfully planting over 5,300 new trees and hedgerows across our grounds.

These initiatives are essential to our vision of integrating wildlife corridors and native woodland canopies into the fabric of our course. It is a privilege to see these young saplings beginning to thrive, ensuring a greener, more resilient future for our game and our community.

Together, we are cultivating a legacy that respects our heritage while protecting the environment for generations to come.

⛳️ HOLE-IN-ONE FEVER AT DRAX GOLF CLUB! ⛳️

What an absolutely unbelievable weekend of golf we’ve just had. The golfing gods have truly smiled on Drax, and we are still buzzing from not one, but TWO incredible holes-in-one!

Let’s hear it for our weekend heroes:

🎯 The Streak Continues: Pete McVay!

Someone needs to check Pete’s clubs for magnets, because this man cannot be stopped. Following on from his mind-blowing two holes-in-one last year, Pete did it again this weekend, acing the 8th hole! Unbelievable consistency, Pete. What a player!

🥂 The First of Many: Martin Dobson!

Today, history was made on the 5th hole. A massive congratulations to Martin Dobson, who carded his first-ever hole-in-one! That magical moment you’ll never forget, Martin, and we are absolutely thrilled to celebrate it with you.
