Notts Girls win the 2011  EWGA Midlands North League

I am very pleased to announce that we have won the 2011 EWGA Midlands North league. We played five matches during the season against Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Shropshire, Staffordshire and Derbyshire. 

Our scratch team were unbeaten during the season with a notable 6 – 0 victory against our biggest rivals, Lincolnshire. We also had wins against Leicestershire, Shropshire, Staffordshire and a half in our last match of the season against Derbyshire secured the title. 

Everyone who has played in the scratch and second teams contributed important points and gained invaluable experience for the future. It has been great to have new young talent playing in the second team this season knowing that they will soon be at the top of Notts girls golf. 

I am very proud to have been captain of Nottinghamshire Girls this year and so pleased to have been part of such a successful team. Nottinghamshire girls golf has grown enormously since I have been in the team and it’s amazing how strong the team has become. 

Next  year is my last year as a junior I hope the team, which will be stronger than ever,  can repeat the success of this season with Rachel Boulton as captain. 

My congratulations and thanks to Emma Newlove, Lianna Bailey, Jodie Peacock, Emily-mae Hall, Rachel Boulton,  Alex Peters, Emily Lyle, Annabel Bailey, Laura Morris, Sophie Newlove, Rhiannon Linacre,  Amy Oxbury, Emma Anderson, Esme Hamilton and Sarah Riddell.

Emily Mae represents England in Schools 

Congratulations to Emily Mae Hall (Notts) who was selected to represent England Schools in a match against Scotland Schools. Emily Mae writes

The whole event in Scotland was amazing, apart from the weather -70mph winds and horizontal rain cut the competition short. Only the singles were played, and not all of them some boys only managed to play 9 holes. It became dangerous and the rest of the event was called off. However Scotland won the morning singles ...(they kept their ball lower!)"

It was a massive achievement for Emily Mae to get that far and represent England, I'm sure she loved every minute. The boys and girls all received their England Schools colours and get to keep all the kit. The English girls were Emily Mae (2 handicap), Dulcie Sverdloff (2), Alison Knowles (1), Georgina Mundy (scr), Shelby Smart (scr) and Holly Vizard (4)

On her return, Emily Mae also played in the Henderson Carlisle at Wollaton Park and won the Under 16 Gross with a level par round
