Wakelin Trophy Results 2026

The Wakelin Trophy 2026 produced a result that even the golfing gods couldn't separate. Four teams finished locked on 39 points, leaving the back nine scorecards to perform the final act of detective work. Rumour has it that AI was consulted beforehand and, in a display of uncanny brilliance, somehow assembled four teams destined to finish inseparably together.
Further mystery unfolded on the 4th, where Paul Burch and Trevor Price struck nearest-the-pin efforts measured at exactly the same distance. In a gesture of true sportsmanship, Paul graciously handed the prize to Trevor — proving that generosity can sometimes be closer than a golf ball.
As for the rest of the field, they were not so much beaten as politely asked to admire the mathematics. Four teams on 39 points? Proving AI has mastered golf pairings.

And The Winner is Mr.Captain

Our Senior Chairman Paul Burch handing over the prized and most expensive trophy in the club to this years winner Fred Hughes.

We had 18 teams competing for the trophy and nearly all matches were so very close it was is if they had been selected by Artificial Intelligence.

The results followed a crazy pattern with the Captains Team winning the first five and the Vice Captain winning the last 4.

As always there were many tales to tell and if you ask any of the players they will in great detail tell you every shot they played and the putts missed.

Its the first time the Captains team has ever won but Dean positive as ever and saw that as a "Donald Trump" saying "another world first in the history of this annual match".

Well done to all those that took part.

John Woodcock - Glyn Mycock - Trevor Fox - David Gilford

Thanks once again to David Gilford who generously gives up his time to play with 3 of our Senior Golfers every year.
These matches are always played in good spirit and often tightly fought especially this year as the match was halved on the 18th!
