Worlebury Triumph in Rain-Soaked Pickeridge Bowl Final
The 2025 Pickeridge Bowl final at Burnham & Berrow Golf Club was a contest shaped as much by the weather as by the golf. With driving rain and swirling winds battering the course, Worlebury Golf Club emerged victorious over a determined Clevedon GC side in a dramatic and hard-fought encounter.
Worlebury made a strong start, holding the advantage in three matches at the turn and trailing in two. Early momentum was on their side, but the worsening conditions soon turned the match into a test of endurance.
Match 1 Worlebury’s lead-off player showed great resilience, recovering from two down to level the match heading to the 18th. However, Clevedon edged the final hole to take the opening point.
Match 2 Worlebury responded with a composed 5&4 win, levelling the overall score.
Match 3 saw Worlebury three up through nine, only for Clevedon to mount a stirring comeback and steal the win on the final hole.
Match 4 was a gritty affair. Worlebury again led early, two up at the turn, and despite a strong fightback from Clevedon, they held on through the worst of the weather to square the match at 2–2.
Match 5 With everything riding on it Worlebury dug deep. They took an early lead and, despite the punishing conditions, never let it slip. The decisive point secured a 3–2 overall victory and the Pickeridge Bowl title.
Both teams deserve immense credit for their skill and determination in the face of England’s early autumnal weather.
A special thanks to Burnham & Berrow GC for hosting a memorable final.
