BROADWAY Golf Club welcomed 136 golfers to the club’s fairways for their annual Seniors’ Open event.

Players from 45 clubs across the region took part despite the weather threatening to put pay to the tournament.

High winds, torrential hailstorms and rolling thunder made for difficult conditions throughout the event.

Player rose above the elements as club president Warren McDivitt produced a 40-point round to take victory on home soil.

Burford Golf Club’s Alan Chambers pushed McDivitt all the way to finish as runner-up on 39 points.

And Broadway player Roger Buggin carded a commendable 37 points to claim the over-75s prize.




Broadway’s junior golfers are also celebrating after both Mia Jones and Rachel Van Niekerk secured their places in the Faldo Futures Series regional finals.

The Broadway players won their respective age categories at the qualifying event back in March to earn their places at the regional finals.


Founded by Sir Nick Faldo and his team in 1996, the competition is the biggest and most successful global junior golf series in the world.

Jones will now travel to The Warwickshire Golf and Country Club on Sunday, May 31 with Van Niekerk to also compete at Cumberwell Park Golf Club on Monday, May 25.

The Faldo Futures 2026 schedule features qualifying events across the UK, leading into 16 regional finals before culminating in the grand final at The Belfry during British Masters week.

The series gives talented young golfers aged seven to 12-years-old the opportunity to compete across three age categories on specially designed nine-hole courses.
