MP visits golf club as it launches new course layout
Bridlington and the Wolds MP Charlie Dewhirst was recently invited to Bridlington Golf Club as it launched a new course layout.
At the celebration, Mr Dewhirst got the chance to watch golfers in action and enjoy a barbecue lunch.
He also highlighted the importance of the sport to tourism in the area.
Mr Dewhirst said: “Congratulations to Bridlington Golf Club on launching its tee-rrific new course layout.
“It was wonderful to pop along to see it and the club’s members mid-golf competition, followed by a barbecue lunch.
“Golf brings in an extra £412 million a year to the UK’s accommodation and tourism industries, so given the importance of tourism to our area, it’s wonderful to see East Yorkshire delivering above par.
“My thanks to 2026 Captain David Howker for the invite, it was un-fore-gettable!”
