  • History of Royal Cromer Golf Club Established 1888
    History of Royal Cromer Golf Club established 1888 Information obtained from minute books, letters, members records, journals and periodicals. Royal Cromer Golf Club History Established 1888 Royal Cromer Golf Club owes its existence to the enthusiasm and love of the game of a Mr. Henry Broadhurst M.P., a Scot who lived at 19, Buckingham Street, The Strand, London. In the 1880's, whilst holidaying in Cromer, he recognised the potential of land to the seaward of the Lighthouse as a possible site for a Links Course. The popularity of North Norfolk at this time had been noted in the London City Press in a report dated 5th September 1886: "The public are greatly indebted to railway enterprise for the opening up of the East Coast. More bracing air and delightful sands are not to be found in any part of England. The only drawback is that the country is rather flat. This remark, however, does not apply to Cromer, which bids fair to become the most popular watering place, it being entirely free from objectionable features". The site of the proposed golf course was owned by the then Lord Suffield KCB, who kindly consented to the request of Broadhurst and some twenty other enthusiasts to rent the land. The Club was instituted in the Autumn of 1887 with Lord Suffield as President. Doubtless it was his friendship and influence with the Prince of Wales which precipitated the Prince's gracious patronage of the infant club on 25th December 1887. Thus Cromer had a Royal Golf Club even before its official opening the following January.

  • Greg Norman Announces Final Field for 17 Annual Franklin Templeton
    Greg Norman Announces Final Field For 17th Annual Franklin Templeton Shootout NAPLES, Fla. (September 19, 2005) – Greg Norman announced today that the 24 - player field is completed for the Franklin Templeton Shootout, which returns to Naples for the fifth consecutive year November 9 -13. Added today were Swedish sensations Jesper Parnevik and Fredrik Jacobson . Parnevik is a five -time winner on the PGA TOUR and has won nine more titles around the globe. He has participated in three Ryder Cup matches f or the European Team and will make his second Shootout appearance. Jacobson has three European Tour titles, all of which came in 2003. During a six -year span on that Tour, he collected six runner -up finishes and 16 top -10s. Also in 2003, he finished among the top six at both the U.S. and British Opens. This will be Jacobson’s first Franklin Templeton Shootout. He joins Tim Herron and Ian Poulter as newcomers. With the addition of Parnevik and Jacobson (Sweden), the 24 -player field now has a distinct inter national flavor with seven participants representing four countries: Norman, Adam Scott and Steve Elkington (Australia), Nick Price (South Africa) and Poulter (England). This marks the greatest depth of international talent in the Shootout’s 17 - year histor y. “We welcome the two gentlemen from Sweden, “ Norman said. “Now that the field is complete, it certainly does have an interesting mix of current winners, past champions, Hall of Fame members and an international flair.” Winners this year, include Olin Browne , who captured the Deutsche Bank Championship Labor Day weekend for his third TOUR victory and Mark Calcavecchia , who won the following week at the Bell Canadian Open.
