The relatively small market town of Ulverston is renowned amongst other things, as the birthplace of the thinner half of the legendary comedy duo, Laurel & Hardy. Born Arthur Stanley Jefferson, in a small terrace house near the town centre, Stan Laurel lived in Ulverston as a youngster. He moved away to Bishop Auckland to attend grammar school, and then onto Glasgow, before later travelling to America (in the company of fellow slapstick comedian, Charlie Chaplin). Ulverston is now home to a Laurel & Hardy Museum, located in the Roxy cinema.
Up alongside the golf course is the Bardsea Monument, a distinctive three-sided "folly" built in the 1840s on the site of the former Bardsea Hall summer-house.
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
