The curtains have officially closed on the 2025 competition season at Drax Golf Club following a wonderful Presentation Evening last night! It was a fantastic night of celebration, great food, and dancing. The evening was made all the more special by the attendance of so many members, their families, and friends. We extend our deepest thanks to everyone who came and helped us celebrate.
Honouring Our Champions
The highlight of the evening was, of course, honouring the successes of the past year. Congratulations to all of our 2025 competition winners—your dedication and skill throughout the season did not go unnoticed!
The evening concluded with the dramatic announcement of the two most anticipated awards, whose recipients were kept secret until the final moment:
The Captain's Special Achievement Award was proudly presented to Graham Trotter for his outstanding contribution.
The coveted title of Golfer of the Year 2025 was awarded to a very deserving Mark Sneap.
A huge round of applause to Graham and Mark, and to all our champions!
Gratitude and New Beginnings
An event of this calibre is a team effort. We wish to express our sincere appreciation:
To the Club Staff: Thank you for your tireless efforts and excellent support in making the evening run so smoothly.
To the Committee: A special mention and immense thanks go to the dedicated Committee for their flawless organisation. We particularly recognise our Chairman, Kevin Harrison, and his wife, Donna, whose energy and commitment were the driving force behind the preparations for this spectacular night.
To Our Captains: We salute our Outgoing Captains for their dedicated and sterling work throughout 2025. We also extend our best wishes and full support to the Incoming 2026 Captains and Vice-Captains as they step into their new roles.
Thank you once again to everyone for an unforgettable evening. The spirit of Drax Golf Club is strong, and we look forward to carrying this momentum into what promises to be an exciting 2026 season!
