Club competitions in the northern part of the county
Overstone Park
Overstone Park’s policy of giving youngsters the best chance to develop as golfers was further emphasised when they sent a large contingent of junior members to play in the Nuneaton Junior Open.
With the event attracting the biggest field for a Warwickshire Junior Open in a few years, Overstone’s Tamsin Munro finished third in the girls 18-hole net category after shooting a round of net 73.
Despite heavy rain making conditions more difficult for the later starters and the nine-hole players, the host club were full of praise for how the visiting youngsters conducted themselves.
Priors Hall
Forty six points was the winning total in the Jubilee Cup at Priors Hall as Trevor Shiells and Steve Shiells came out on top by one from James Reed and Dom Johnson.
