REDBROOK GOLF SOCIETY
RGS Major Championships
The three 'Open' championships contested annually by Redbrook Golf Society and open to non members are The Bell Open, The Winter Cup and The Boat Open. The first championship was held in 2000.
In October 2020, Karen Whittleworth became the first woman to win not only an RGS event, but a major open. Karen won the 2020 BOAT OPEN at St Pierre Golf & Country Club. In 2023 Ellie Teasdale emulated Karen's achievement winning the BOAT OPEN at Forest Hills and in 2024 Zac Deadman became the youngest ever winner at the age of 14.
To date, nobody has won all three 'majors'.
