2026 Open Championships

3 January 2026 - By Will Radley

Congratulations to all our champions who tackled this challenging course at Gloucester Park. The standard of the field on Saturday was exceptionally strong, and every performance came against tough, competitive opposition.

 

Conditions were also unforgiving. The cold made the ground firm and, at times, the grass felt closer to concrete than turf. Commiserations to Sally and Celine, who were unable to complete the course on this occasion. Regardless of results, Witham is extremely grateful to everyone who took part and represented us so well.

 

My final word goes to Angela, Andrew, Scott, Gary, and Nadya for their help on the day. I appreciate it immensely.
