Taking on four seasons in one day and a field of golfers, Hazlemere bettered both the varying conditions and the competition to top the leaderboard at Conservatory Outletβs Network Golf Day.
Now in its 12th year, the event is one of the longest-running and most prestigious tournaments of its kind, and installers from across the UK flocked to Cheshire to battle for the Network Cup.
A flagship date in the calendar, the Network Golf Day forms part of a wider programme of events and initiatives designed to foster collaboration, celebrate excellence, and reinforce the shared values of a Premium Retail Network that continues to deliver year-on-year growth.
This yearβs competition took place at Wychwood Park near Crewe, where golfers battled a tough-playing course and ever-changing conditions that caused even the most experienced golfers to go rummaging through the rough. From the buffeting winds on the first tee through to the baking hot sunshine out on the back nine, the competition provided a true test of skill.
When the final ball was sunk, it was the High Wycombe-based Hazlemere that sat in first place, with the team of Tony Beale, Chris Hill, James Edwards and Jamie Lewis picking up the main team prize.
βIt was fantastic to see such strong attendance at our golf day,β said Greg Kane, CEO of Conservatory Outlet.
βThe level of play throughout the day was fantastic. The course and the great British conditions provided a stern test for all those involved, and Hazlemere were well-deserved winners.β
Reflecting on the achievement, Tony Beale, Director at Hazlemere, said:
βWeβre absolutely thrilled. The conditions were tough, but our team maintained their focus and emerged victorious.
βConservatory Outletβs Network Golf Day is always brilliantly organised and remains the best event of its kind in the industry. The course was in great condition, the organisation was impeccable, and it offered a fantastic opportunity to engage in some friendly competition with our fellow Premium Retailers.
βWe will be looking after the trophy over the next twelve months β and we are already looking forward to defending our title next year!β
While Hazlemere dominated the team play, individual brilliance was on display as all entrants battled over the individual skill competitions.
These individual prizes made their way βnorth of the borderβ, as Bryan Cameron of Invergordonβs ERG Scotland won the Nearest the Pin competition whilst Kevin Andison of Galashielsβ Mitchell Glass claimed the dayβs longest drive.
Greg concluded: βCongratulations to all this yearβs winners. The day was another resounding success and a testament to the strength of our Network. Attendance was up yet again, and we look forward to hosting more social events throughout the year.
βThe Network Golf Day offers the perfect blend of competition and networking. No wonder why, alongside our marketing and operations conferences, it is so well supported.β
