Club Officers
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
Lady Captain - Kate Lakey
Hi, I'm Kate, Club Secretary and for 2025 Lady Captain.
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 Ladies’ Captain 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 - Malcolm Lyman
I started playing golf in my teens, thoroughly enjoying the sport, but, due to education, family and work commitments, I set aside my clubs for over thirty years. However, after coming back to golf in my mid fifties, just in time to play with the seniors, golf has once again become a passion of mine, and I have fully enjoyed this challenging game ever since.
As Seniors Captain I will strive to grow our seniors section here at Fakenham Golf Club, encourage and welcome newcomers of all abilities to join our friendly group.
'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 warm welcome.
Club President - Randy Reynolds
Welcome to Fakenham Golf Club a gem of a 9 hole course in the beautiful area of North Norfolk. To be president of such a friendly, well run, and great course for the last 10 years has been an honour and real pleasure.
I started playing here in 1992, the usual advance into golf when all other physical sports became just that bit harder and as soon as you start, the words (should have done this years ago).
Joined the golf club committee in 1996 and became captain in 2006 and enjoyed a great year.
Usually have my president’s week in early August where members are invited to play in different competitions concluding with final of the year’s 9 hole competition run throughout the summer for all members over 6 Fridays then Saturday President Day.
Hope you enjoy your experience at this wonderful club as either a visitor or prospective member.
All the very best
