Ward Trophy / August Medal – 14th August 2023
After having to cancel a couple of competitions due to the weather, the Juniors finally got out on the course on Monday afternoon to play the Ward Trophy and August Medal. Despite poor weather conditions we still had a good turnout with 14 juniors taking part.
For this event the 18-hole division play for both the Ward Trophy, awarded to 1st place, and the August Medal, awarded to 2nd place. Lewis Foxall continued his good recent form, winning the Ward Trophy with an outstanding score and a personal low round of 72 gross, nett 60. Spencer Pickin came in 2nd place, winning the August Medal, with a nett 64, gross 88.
In the 9-hole division it was great to see one of our new members taking top spot. Winning on her debut in the division was Sofia Brookes with an excellent score of 30 points, gross 50. 2nd place went to Yvie Taylor with 22 points. Well done girls!
In the Short Course division, Jude Knight took 1st place with an incredible 15 under par score of nett 21! Stanley Tipping took 2nd place with a 6 under par nett 30. Both excellent scores.
Well done to all the juniors that took part in again less than ideal conditions.

In the 9-hole division, Archie Clacher came in 1st place with an equally impressive score of 31 points. On his competition debut, Henry Smith came in 2nd place with an excellent 24 points. Nearest the pin in 2 on the 7th hole was won by Theo Dawson.
After going close a couple of times already, Stanley Tipping was our winner in the Short Course division with a 4 under par score of nett 32. Conor Riley took 2nd place with a nett 33 and also claimed the nearest the pin in 2 prize on the 9th hole.
Many thanks to the Captain for his generous support of the Junior Section, kindly putting on the prizes and food for the Juniors. All involved had a great day and there was some truly incredible scoring worthy of the day.

Duncan Evans Trophy – 10th June 2023
On Saturday 10th June, the superb scoring from our Juniors continued as they competed for the Duncan Evans Trophy. Despite some significant handicap cuts the low scores keep coming.
In the 18-hole division, the top-2 positions were reversed from last time out with Albie Carter coming in first with an incredible 48 points! Austin Rogula coming in second with another great round of 45 points. Well done boys, excellent scores.
Freddie Brazier continues his good run of form in the 9-hole division, taking first place with 20 points. It was great to see all entrants in the short-course division under par, but it was Jude Knight coming first with an excellent 8 under par score of nett 28. Well done to all that took part.
Special mention and congratulations to Lewis Foxall, our Junior Captain, who moved up to White tees this weekend and posted two gross scores of 77. Fantastic effort, Lewis is now down to 8.0!
