Girls & Intermediate Championships 2017
The Girls & Intermediate Championships were held at The Norwood Park Golf Club on Sunday 2nd July. There was a high turnout with 31 entries across the three categories: intermediate, junior and 9 hole. The sun was shining and the girls all enjoyed playing the course. Some excellent scores were returned with the ball spotters commenting they were redundant! Our girls junior champion for 2017 is Esme Hamilton (Notts Ladies) with a gross 75, she also won the U18 Open Scratch Salver. The intermediate champion for an excellent 4th year running is Lauren Spray (Notts Ladies) with a gross 73. Our 9 hole champion is Elizabeth Wilson from Norwood Park.
In her Rookie year Ankita Anand (Ruddington) won the U18 Handicap Cup and the Bronze Division Scratch Cup with a gross 95, nett 70.
Leonie Muir (Wollaton Park) won both the U16 and U14 Scratch Championships with a gross of 82.
Congratulations to all the girls!

Our Nottinghamshire First Team played some magnificent golf in very difficult conditions to win County Week at Matlock this year. The team won all their matches with a terrific performance from every player and a wonderful team spirit.
Wollaton Park Golf Club was the venue for the NCLGA 2017 Spring Meeting and County Championship which took place over the weekend 12th – 14th May. The course was presented beautifully and was in excellent condition, with some fantastic scores being recorded. On Friday, the waterproofs came into use as there were a few heavy showers during the day, but the rest of the weekend was largely sunny and breezy and the spectators were treated to a great display of golf.
