‘Captain’s Day’ is a special day in the Captain’s Year. It involves lots of organisation by the captain (and not a little cost) and it’s the only competition in which the captain does not participate – so he gets all the hassle and none of the pleasure! Despite the odd marquee to either shade everyone…
Today’s open was the Bridget Newell Mixed Open 4BBB, named after a celebrated Cavendish member who tragically died aged 25 in 1937, after finishing 2nd in the British Amateur the year previous. After a weather effected day, the competition still saw some great scores. The winners were Sally Weaver & Will Weaver from Bridgnorth Golf…
The Cavendish fairways, greens and club were once again enlivened by the arrival of members of The British Golf Collectors Society (BGCS) dressed in period golfing attire and many playing with antique hickory golf clubs.

Mid summer madness 12 brave souls turned up at the crack of dawn on Sunday 20 June to play in the Captain’s and Lady Captain’s midsummer madness. 3 teams of 4 played 7 holes and then headed back to the clubhouse for an amazing and well deserved breakfast. Some great social golf was played with…
Another fine performance by our Dunham Forest team with an excellent 4.5 v 2.5 win at home this evening against Fairfield Golf Club from Audenshaw. Wins for Liam Hancock, Reece Swain, Aaron Woodward and Neil Booth and a half point for Mark Elliott saw the team safely home against very tough opposition. Not for the…
Fabulous day at Cavendish with just over 100 players supporting Broughton House – a care home for veterans. Organised by long-standing member Bob Clark, a veteran himself.

Some had not played Matlock…
