The 2021 Seaton Salver was a great success with a full field of some of the region's finest golfers participating. A thick sea fret meant that the competition got underway half an hour later than planned, but once it cleared the players were treated to a mixture of sunny spells interspersed with rolling mist brought in by a moderate breeze. Slick greens along with some thought provoking pin placements made low scoring difficult and only a few players managed to break par. The eventual winner of a closely fought competition was Gavin Nesbit, from Boldon Golf Club, who managed to hold off the challenges of Shipley's Max Berrisford and Thomas Harbord from Castle Eden. Our thanks to all the competitors and their supporters and to our team of willing volunteers, along with our wonderful greenkeeping and catering teams.

The Senior Salver was played on Tuesday 11th May, attracting a strong field of almost 120 entrants.

The course was in magnificent condition for our visitors with many paying compliments to the excellent presentation, congratulations to all involved in making it so.

Many entrants return to play in this event year after year, and the vast majority seemed delighted to be back competing over our challenging links.

The winner of the best gross and Senior Salver was Stuart Brown of Castle Eden with a gross of 69, a fantastic knock for a +2 golfer, well done Stuart.

The eventual winners were a team from Bedale with 72 pts, in 2nd place were a team from Cleveland with 68 (on a count back), 3rd spot went to a team from Masham and Thirsk with 68 and a team from Ingleby Barwick came 4th.with 67.
