The Golf Club Manager Awards 2021-22 descended into chaos after a brawl broke out between attendees. Host Lynn Benfield revealed the nominees for the ‘Golf Club With The Best PR’ category, and joked that one of them, West Mellington Golf Club, could use their marketing skills to “improve Bristol”, which led to laughter, including initially from the West Mellington manager, David Hall. However, the club is actually based in Norfolk, and its F&B manager looked visibly distressed by the comment. A bloodied Hall later apologised for his actions, saying “they always knew I was a loose cannon but I have overstepped the mark this time”. The winner of ‘Golf Club Manager of the Year’ was not announced but will be unveiled later this month.
