Melton Preview

'For more than 75 years golfers in the Midlands have enjoyed the tranquility and friendly company of Melton Mowbray Golf Club. Established in 1925 and set in rolling Leicestershire countryside, Melton Mowbray Golf Club welcomes golfers of all ages and ability levels to its easy-walking, 6279 yards, par 70, 18-hole parkland course. Straight hitting and careful course management will always be rewarded here as well as a deft touch around the closely guarded, but receptive, greens.'

Mmmh... All ages - Yes, all ability levels... Yes, easy walking... Yes, straight hitting... NO!

A view of some of the course...


A 17 strong TGS contingent visited Melton for the first time in 2007 with 12 of the field separated by only 5 points. Doc. Brown (35) was victorious for his maiden tour victory, thanks in kind to his tangerine gripped Odyssey putter, and with it holding the course record, and the front 9 high of 19 points.

Frame (34) found himself once again nestled on the podium accompanied by Baker Jnr (33) who had an absolute storming back 9 – 2 over par and 22 points, for the record.

For the SAT NAV...
