Club Captain- James Cane

I am honoured to represent you as the new Club Captain. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and express my excitement for the opportunity to work within the club help continue building the spirit and success the past year has brought us.
I have been a member of Fakenham Golf Club for 2 ½ years, and I’ve witnessed the warm and welcoming community our club has. As your captain, my goal is to build upon the strong foundation we already have, making our club an even better place for every member. Whether you are an experienced golfer or someone just starting out, I want everyone to feel included, engaged, and inspired to contribute to the continued success of our club.
Over the next year I will continue to work on improving the numbers in competitions, there will be various different social competitions to bring new and old members together on the golf course. I am excited to be working with the green keepers and greens committee to keep improving this unique course.
This year we have entered a team in the handicap league; this is something the club has not done for many years. A team will also be entered in the Cullington Cup and the Barnard Trophy. We hope to continue the success of our friendly fixtures with an increased number of matches giving everyone who would like to play the opportunity to do so, no matter your golfing experience, everyone is welcome.  
I am looking forward to working alongside the Committee, Colin (Club Pro) and Kate (Club Secretary) to bring fresh new ideas to keep improving this great club and I am excited to see what the future brings. I will be working closely with Malcolm Lyman (Seniors Captain) and Kate Lakey (Ladies Captain) to support these sections and bring all members together.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or if there's anything I can do to support you during the season.
My chosen charity will be The Food Freedom Support Society. This is a local charity which is close to my heart, supporting families and children with severe and life-threatening allergies. I will be running all my usual charity days and would be grateful of your support throughout the year.
Looking forward to seeing you on the course, and I’m excited about all the great things we will accomplish together.
Warm regards,

James Cane
Club Captain

Secretary - Kate Lakey

Hi, I'm Kate, Club Secretary .

I have dabbled in golf for many years. Whilst in my 30's after I was given a 7 iron and some lessons for a birthday present. I quickly fell in love with the game but like many ladies life got in the way. In 2021, after returning back to Norfolk I joined Fakenham Golf Club and for the first time played regular golf.

As a member I want to encourage as many women as possible, young and older to enjoy this brilliant, frustrating game. Golf is one of the few games that grandmothers can play with grandchildren. I know it can be daunting to join a new club – don’t worry, here at Fakenham you will be given a warm welcome. Come play and join us!

Senior Captain - Andrew High

.As with many people, playing football and cricket has now been replaced with
bowls and golf!  I started playing golf in my fifties and thoroughly enjoy the challenges that the game brings.  I have been a member of Fakenham Golf Club for around five years and have really enjoyed this time; meeting new people and enjoying the close community within the Club.

As the Captain of the Seniors, I will strive to grow our Senior section here at Fakenham Golf Club, by encouraging and welcoming newcomers of all abilities to join our friendly group. Tuesday mornings are really good fun and our friendly Senior matches against other golf clubs are fantastic occasions.

'Seniors Rollup’ is every Tuesday morning from 7:30am and the first tee off at 8:00am. If you are 55 or over, come along to Fakenham Golf Club and join us; you will get a very friendly welcome.
