The first match of the 2026 Super Six season was played at Gorleston Golf Club on Sunday 11 May. To set the scene, it was bitterly cold and one of our windiest days so far this year. But that did not deter the young teams of six, from Bungay, Halesworth, Rookery, Dunston and Gorleston, from playing some exceptional golf.
Each club sends a team of six players, from a squad of 12, to participate in home and away matches during the summer months, culminating in the final game at Gorleston in September. The format is a 2-ball Texas Scramble, and so the perfect introduction for these youngster to competitive golf. Our team, of three pairs, were Red Pinder with Harley Currell, and Loki Pinder with Callum Barnard, and Robin Greaney with Tommy Mills.
It was a tight match, and a steep learning curve for quite a few entering their first competition, but all were keen to observe the rules of etiquette, speed of play and the pleasure and disappointments of competitive golf.
The results were, Bungay with 117 points, Dunston 118 points, Halesworth 120 points, Rookery 124 points and Gorleston a winning 125 points. A very close contest and a great start to the season for Gorleston!
At every competition, a player from each team is awarded a ‘Life Skills Medal’ and at this event it was awarded to Loki Pinder. Well done Loki!
Congratulations to our professional team of Duncan and Oli, who have produced an excellent squad to represent our club.
