The 2026 Suffolk Golf day was held at Hintlesham Golf Club on Monday 27th July. The forecast was for hot humid conditions but there was some cloud cover and a light zephyr of a breeze, with the sun only breaking through in the last hour of play. As with all local courses, the ground was hard, the grass was brown, with oases of greens (and some tees) but in good condition not withstanding.
There were 21 teams (84 ladies), with the usual shotgun start at 10am. The same format as at the East Suffolk Golf Day was followed, with pairs of two from each team playing a 4BBB Stableford with a pair from another team, but with the team prize being presented to the team of 4 with the best 2 4BBB scores added together.
First Place: Amanda Boutell, Sam Edwards, Helena Honour and Mary Sparrow from Fynn Valley and Diss
The winners were Amanda Boutell, Sam Edwards, Helena Honour and Mary Sparrow from Fynn Valley and Diss, with a magnificent score of 82 points, on count back.
Second Place: Susie Blackett, Sharon Graves, Angela Sherring and Karen Hoskins, from Seckford

As it is the Ladies County Golf Association centenary year, each player was given a coolbag as a momento of the day. In addition, Vicki Hunt and Kristina Matthews from the Centenary Committee worked tirelessly all day running a ‘hickory’ challenge on the first hole. A prize was presented to Julie Askem and Susan Sparrow from Fynn Valley, Julie scoring a birdie 3 on the hole.
