Jaruwan Crumpton, who plays at Shendish Manor Golf Club (Hertfordshire), entered the most scores (general play and competition) for a female in 2025.
Jaruwan amassed 179 rounds, despite the average for females in 2025 being 15.73!
Jaruwan, a 14.4-handicap, plays in club comps, swindles and roll-ups and said: “I’m retired so I can basically play every day if I want! I usually play around 8am.
“One reason I put every card in is that even our respective organisers of swindles and roll-ups insist cards are entered, even the odd social game, so I still enter cards as I believe the system needs to follow form.
“I like golf mainly for the challenge itself, but also for fitness and some lovely nature. I play with whoever I'm drawn out with generally, and my husband and grandchildren. The most I get from the game is the satisfaction of playing well!”
Jaruwan first got into the game thanks to her husband, where she’d go to the range with him, and admitted: “After a while, I couldn't resist having a swing and it went from there. The irony of it all is that my husband, who got my grandchildren (13 and 15 years old), and I into the game, is now the highest handicapper in the family!"
Jaruwan started as a 36 handicap and after 12 years, got down to 9. Now at 64, she is playing off 14, with her lowest gross score being 77 (+5).
She revealed: “I've won some events, the most prestigious would be the singles match play knockout (mixed event, including the men). I've also won the Masters event (also mixed) at Shendish Manor, and various monthly medal and Stableford competitions.”
Asked about the strangest moments she’d experienced on the course, Jaruwan admitted: “A playing partner once hit a gull, which fell from the sky, leaving a flurry of feathers floating down. Fortunately, as we approached it, it jumped to its feet and flew off! Another incident involved two stags galloping down our 17th fairway – our four-ball scattered behind trees, it was quite scary really!”
