Open Competitions On Thursday September 26, 1968 a Pro-Am was held at Thetford, the first of a series to be held over the winter. The success of this initiative was such that these events have continued ever since. For more than 50 years professionals from Norfolk and the rest of the region have taken advantage of the excellent conditions of the course over the winter months – often when their own courses are waterlogged. The popularity of the Thetford Pro-Ams continues and many local professionals and leading amateurs are delighted to have the chance for competition conditions over the winter. The Pro-Ams are traditionally held on the second Thursday of each month from October through to March.
The Club also holds a series of other open events over the year. They allow access to the course to players from all over the region with the competitions including catering and prizes for a very reasonable entry fee. In recent years most events have been sold out, with many regulars returning year after year. To be sure to gain a place an early entry is essential via the entry forms on the website www.thetfordgolfclub.co.uk The programme of events is: Spring Open: This four-ball better-ball pairs event is traditionally held on the first Thursday in April to herald the start of the golfing year.
