Club Captain 2026 – Gus Lake
I would like to extend a very warm welcome to you all at Arcot Hall Golf Club. Following a very good year weatherwise, we are now seeing the results of some dedicated work from Geoff and the Greenkeepers that has been put in to bring the course to the excellent standard we are now enjoying.
The Clubhouse continues to be a work in progress and we can see and appreciate the hard work that has been done. This will continue during the coming year for you all to take advantage of the improved facilities on a regular basis and an opportunity for you to hold special occasions i.e. birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, christenings etc.
The return of our Chef Will Purves in our restaurant Arkkatu is a great asset to the club and I would encourage all members to come along and sample the fare that he has to offer.
Behind the scenes, we have a Committee that works tirelessly on all aspects to keep Arcot Hall running not only as a golf club but as a business and many thanks to them all for the work that they do on a voluntary basis. Also a big thank you to Ang and Jade for all the work in the office that keeps all the wheels and cogs moving in the right direction.
We have our PGA Professional Kris Bengtsson who is available to all members for all aspects of golf and would encourage you to visit him in the Proshop for advice.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank our outgoing Captain Mark Wilson for asking me to be his Vice-Captain and to say how much I have enjoyed the year. He captained the Men’s Team to a successful season and winning the NDGL 2nd division title.
We now look forward to competitions in the 1st Division this year. The fixtures are on Thursday nights and it’s a great opportunity to see some fantastic golf and we would encourage you to come along and support the team.
This year I am pleased to be assisted by Darren Tyler as my Vice-Captain and know that going forward he will be a tremendous asset to Arcot Hall Golf Club. He is already involved and has been a great help to me.
I look forward to working alongside the Ladies Captain Paula Davis and wish her a successful year along with the Ladies Section.
My very best wishes to everyone who will play golf at Arcot Hall in the coming year and please let me know if we can enhance your experience at this magnificent course.
As the famous golfer Ben Hogan said “The most important shot in golf is the next one!”
