It is a great honour to be elected as Captain of Fakenham Golf Club for 2024.
Fakenham Golf course is an excellent course which can be challenging with the 5th considered one of the best holes to play in Norfolk.
I am looking forward to be working closely with The Lady Captain, Nicola Clayson, Senior Captain Kevin Nicholson and Vice-Captain James Cane.
My Captain’s Charity for the year is Prostate Cancer UK, it is a very important charity to me personally and I hope you will all join me in supporting them throughout my Captaincy and beyond.
Wishing you all the best for 2024 and hope you have an enjoyable season.
I’m Nicola (known to most as Nic or Nicky) and lucky enough to be Ladies’ Captain here at Fakenham Golf Club this year.
I’ve been playing golf for many years, but had a long break when horse riding turned my head! I’m back on the fairways (more accurately in the rough!) now and aiming to play as much as possible now that I’m more or less retired and living locally.
Outside of golf I enjoy walking my young cocker spaniel Loki, hunting out bargains at local auctions and antique fairs, enjoying the garden and collecting books and more books!
As Ladies’ Captain I want to encourage as many women as possible, young and older to enjoy this brilliant, frustrating game. 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!
I started to play golf in my 20's in London but had to give up the game due to an injury.
About 6 years ago after a few lessons with Colin I restarted and am loving just playing Senior Golf.
I am supporting our Club Captains charity in 2024.
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
