GOLF - Hole-in-one double for Broadway Golf Club players

Aaron Sutcliffe 6th Jul, 2026 Updated: 5 hours ago   0

PLAYERS from Broadway Golf Club in Evesham achieved a hole-in-one at separate tournaments.

Ladies player Frances Friend was first to achieve the feat competing in the County Kitcat qualifier at Broadway last month.

Friend aced the 13th hole to land the second hole-in-one of her career.

And both of her hole-in-one efforts have come on the 13th green at Broadway.

Fellow Broadway ladies player Jayne Telfer also achieved the feat competing alongside her son at Stratford-on-Avon Golf Club.

Telfer was playing in the Sam Ryder Open event which comprised a four-ball better-ball format.




She recorded her ace on the sixth hole.

Broadway also recently hosted the Chapman Jug competition on the club’s greens which has run for more than 40 years.


The event, established in 1985, saw 14 of the club’s past ladies’ captains take part in the annual competition.

Former Broadway ladies captain Pam Chapman donated the Chapman Jug to the club two years after the event first took place.

The competition was originally exclusive to the club’s past ladies captains.

However, the event has now expanded to include ladies who have previously served as captain at another golf club or as captain of the county.

Valerie Steven, captain at Leicestershire Golf Club in 2012 before joining Broadway, triumphed in this year’s edition as she scored 31 points over 16 holes.

Broadway’s 2002 ladies captain Sheila Lawson presented winner Steven with the Chapman Jug.
