County Week 2016

The Midlands North Region Inter-County Matches 2016 were held this year at Holme Hall Golf Club, Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, from June 6-10th. We arrived on the Sunday in glorious sunshine for a practice round on a long, 5867 yard, tight course with testing rough. The first evening followed the usual format of team photos, a welcome party and meal at the club.
Monday dawned and our first match against Derbyshire. It was so close, 2-1 up in the morning foursomes and just missing out 4-2 in the afternoon singles when Rachel Boulton lost to a birdie on 18.
Another hot sunny day on Tuesday against Leicestershire and Rutland, 2-1 down at lunch with Emily Cheshire and Emily Lyle playing par golf to win their match 4-2 and all to play for in the afternoon. The team fought hard and were rewarded with 3 wins and Emily Cheshire scrambled a valuable half on 18 which meant we finished Tuesday with the match halved. At this stage Esme Hamilton had to leave the team because of exams.

Some 18 players took part in the Championship playing 36 holes with the top 8 going through to the knock out stages over Saturday and Sunday.

Esme Hamilton returned a score of 79 in the morning and an even better gross score of 73 in the afternoon. Unfortunately, due to exam commitments, she was not available to play in the knock out match play. Lauren Spray was runner up with scores of 76 and 79. 21 additional players took part in the 18 holes Spring Meeting medal played alongside the morning round of the Championship qualifying stage.
