Keith Wood Cup

Keith Wood Cup

At the 2023 AGM the Directors and Committee presented our General Manager, Keith Wood, with his very own Board Competition as a thank you for his 25 years service at Gloucester Golf Club.

The board is called “Keith Wood Cup” and Keith has decided to run a season-long “Nett Order of Merit” with the top 30 and the end of the year qualifying for a Championship Finals day.

The order of Merit is based on 20 x qualifying events across the season with a mixture of individual, pairs and team competitions.

This year for 2025 the qualifying events (all on Sunday’s unless stated) will be:

1. Bowmaker – 9th March (Team)
