Junior Open

32 players took part in the annual Junior Open today sponsored by S&J Communications Ltd and Newbury Golf Centre. The weather was generally bright, but with a blustery south-westerly wind, conditions were not that easy. Despite this there was some fantastic scoring.

In the gross category, last years champion Luke Williams from Frilford Heath successfully defended the title with a superb gross 69. Runner-up was decided on card count-back with Dillan Polley from Goring & Streatley just beating Austin Stone from Donnington Valley - both carded gross 72. Full result - click here.

Best nett on the day was Dominique Bailey from Donnington Grove with nett 62 beating brother Matthew Bailey with nett 64. Third place went to Joshua Gilbert nett 66 from Newbury & Crookham. Full result - click here.

Junior Pro-Am

This is the first time I have played in a Pro-Am. I was very nervous being a 17 handicap playing with Curtis Macgeever 5 hcp, Conor Dick 5 hcp and Nick Mitchell. It was great to watch golf played so well and to have your team put you at ease. I managed to help out on a few holes so was more than happy to pick up my winners prize. I said to Nick it was the quietest round I ever played, he said it was one of his nosiest. I felt like I was meeting the Top Gear presenters and turning up in my Milk Float!! What a great day - the course is looking really good now and I look forward to more Pro-Ams and next years.

Captains and Past Captain's lunch

We had a fantastic private box at the racecourse on Saturday 24th October.
A good laugh was had by all who attended with great food as well for lunch. This years date was at short notice but we hope to go for the same date next year so a call to all past Captains to mark this in your diaries. A big thank you to Lorraine & Nick for arranging this and to Stephen Higgins for letting us have the box.
