Hello,
Another season has commenced. May I welcome all members old and new. The course is in a wonderful condition. Much better than this time last year, so hopefully some great golf will be played by everyone.
I hope to see everyone during the season, either on the course, or in the clubhouse.
I wish everyone and their families a healthy and happy 2026. And may your golf have more birdies and pars than bogeys.
Regards,
Keith Rochell
Dear Members and Visitors,
It is both an honour and a pleasure to serve as Lady Captain of Dewsbury District Golf Club for 2026, and I am delighted to welcome you all to what I hope will be a fantastic year for our club. I look forward to working with, Mr Captain, Keith, we have had a great start with Mr Captain’s and Lady Captain’s joint Birthday fundraiser and the Pink Day charity event.
The Kirkwood hospice is our joint charity, Keith, and I look forward to meeting all of you at the many fundraising events we have planned this year.
To our members, thank you for being part of such a friendly and supportive golfing community. I have only been a member at Dewsbury Golf Club for 5 years but the support and friendship I have received has made me feel very much part of this warm and welcoming club. Whether you’ve been with us for many years or have recently joined, your enthusiasm, and camaraderie are what make our ladies’ section and club so special.
I look forward to working with our Junior Captain, Oliver Cook and the Junior Section, and all sections of the Club. We are already working together to organise social and fun events for all members. We have an exciting calendar ahead, including competitions, matches, mixed friendly competitions, golf roll up sessions, wine and nine events and many more social events, offering something for golfers of all abilities. I encourage everyone to get involved, enjoy the game, and make the most of the friendships and experiences that playing golf at Dewsbury brings.
I would also like to extend a very warm welcome to visitors. We are proud of our course and our club, but even more so of the welcoming atmosphere you will find here. We hope you enjoy not only the challenge; we do have hills! glorious views, wildlife and the beauty of our course, but also the friendliness of everyone you meet during your visit.
My sincere thanks go to our management board, volunteers, and staff whose hard work keeps everything running so smoothly. Your support is truly appreciated.
I look forward to meeting many of you during the season and sharing plenty of enjoyable golf along the way.
Wishing you all good health, great golf, and a thoroughly enjoyable time at Dewsbury District Golf Club.
