OS vs College Staff Golf Tournament 2025

Hosted with warm generosity by James Greenall (GH, AH, 65–74), OSGS Secretary & Newmarket Club Captain 2025, this year’s tournament brought together past and present players for a spirited day of golf at the stunning Links Golf Course, Newmarket.

Set against the backdrop of a blustery but beautiful late May day, 17 players took to this historic 18-hole, par-72 course—originally established in 1902 and later masterfully redesigned by the legendary Colonel S.V. Hotchkin. With its clever bunkering, fast fairways, and classic inland links character, “The Links” truly lived up to its name.
