Club Captains

A word from the club Captains

Maldon Golf Club caters for the full range of golfers from beginners to scratch handicappers, Men, Ladies and Juniors.

  • Men's Captain - Clay Westwood

    Welcome to all golfers.
    I am honoured to be made club captain for 2024 and looking forward to the year ahead.
    We here at Maldon have a great 9 hole 18 tee golf course which is always kept to a very high standard thanks to the hard work of our greens staff all year round. I'm proud to say we get lots of positive feedback from visitors and opposing teams when they come to play here especially in winter times as our course holds up very well in the cold wet months.
    Maldon is a tough test of golf with tight fairways, well placed hazards and small greens so you need to be hitting straight or those scores will certainly rack up.
    There's always something going on at the course be it swindles on most days, ladies on Tuesday mornings, seniors on Wednesdays or club competitions on Sundays. We also participate in the Leslie Wood, Jubilee cup and Norman Plum Essex competitions through the year so it certainly won't take you long to make new friends and become part of the Maldon golf club family.
    New members, visitors, societies are always welcome here to test yourself on what I believe is the hidden gem of Essex.

    My charity this year is the MS Trust(multiple sclerosis) and will be holding a few events and fundraising things during the year.

    Happy golfing and looking forward to seeing you down the club.

  • Lady Captain - Jacqui Carlton

    I am honoured to have been asked to be Lady Captain at Maldon Golf Club for 2023/24.

    Despite not being a low handicap golfer, I enjoy playing in the many competitions organised throughout the year at the Club, and am keen to make my mark as Lady Captain, and be a positive representative of Maldon Golf Club.
    We have a varied calendar of golf; Club Trophies, Mixed Competitions (with our Senior Men’s section), Fun competitions and are keen participants in the ELCGA Harris Bowl Competition during the Summer months. Some of our ladies compete in various County competitions and we also take part in the National Ping 4BBB competition each year. We also like to arrange a few reciprocal friendly competitions with local clubs to encourage more social golf.
    Our small, but enthusiastic Ladies Section includes all categories of membership and I am keen to welcome and encourage new lady members. Our ladies play golf regularly on Tuesdays so please contact me via the Club if you wish to come and meet us and perhaps join us.

    I have chosen to support the charity of the Multiple Sclerosis Trust this year.

  • Seniors Captain - Garth Milford

    I am honoured to be elected seniors Captain for the coming year.
    I have been a member of Maldon Golf Club for 15 years and over those years I have spent many hours enjoying the course and trying to master the game of golf. Through hard work the dedicated greens staff manage to keep the course in tip top condition for the members pleasure.
    You need to be over 55 to take part in our seniors' competitions, some main club competitions and medal or stableford qualifying events which we play on a Wednesday morning.
    The seniors inter-club matches are played on a friendly basis but are still quite competitive, it gives us the opportunity to play other courses in the Essex area and the opportunity to show off our club on return matches.
    Many seniors also get together on Monday and Friday mornings for a swindle and we welcome members of all ages to come along and join us.
    If you would like to join Maldon Golf Club Seniors please come along, contact me or the club manager.
    During my year as captain I will endevour to maintain the high standards set by past captains and to encourage all our members have an enjoyable year on the golf course.
