Nelson Golf Club

Burnley golf protege takes two more prestigious titles

Well played to Ben Short and the England men's team who won the silver medal at the World Deaf Golf Championships 2026

Japan eventually took gold pulling back a 6 shot lead on the final day beating England on a count back. But still a fantastic result and a great week at Barsebäck Golf Sweden

Best of luck today to Nelson Golf Club member Ben Short and the rest of the England team competing in the final round of the World Deaf Golf Championships at the Barseback Resort, Sweden.

The England team are currently leading the championship after 3 rounds. 6 shots clear of Japan and 13 clear of Canada 👏

All the best to Ben Hartley who is raising money for Pendleside Hospice in memory of his dad Chris Hartley.

Ben will be doing a Lancashire League Cricket Grounds Walk commencing on the 27 August.

Chris who was a longstanding member of Nelson Golf Club and Captain in 2009 sadly passed away in November.

Play well and have a great week Ben!

And so it begins for our Junior Captain Dylan Dickinson and Liam Siecskowski as they set out on their 72 hole challenge. They were so keen they decided to tee off in the dark using a flashlight!

If you see them during the day, give them some encouragement to help them along. They really do deserve all our support.

A fantastic day for the PING Junior Golf Tour , what a set up! 130 of the best Junior golfers from the four nations. A huge well done to Kev Riley, Richard Lupton ,Captains and the starter and ball spotters. Rather fitting to have Drakey overseeing their first tee shots.
