The 2004 Warwickshire JoM started in the Spring with a Rob Browning win in the Boys Trials to follow Andy Sullivan’s win in the Warwickshire Schools. Neither player would again be caught at the Top of the JoM.

Sullivan added to his points with best performance in the Midland Junior County 10s and followed that with winning the Midland Schools Championship to build up a 3000+ points lead.

That was a huge target and to get back to No 1, Rob Browning managed to win 6 Gross 1st places in the schedule of Junior Opens through the Summer of 2004.

Third place in the JoM itself went to Jack Sant, who like Paul Broadhurst some years before, retained the Warwickshire U15s Championship.

Ben Stafford also retained his title from 2003, the Boys Matchplay, and with his high placing in the JoM Championships and some very good club and Junior Open points was good enough for 4th place.

Dale Middleton qualified for the JoM finals with lots of club points and then came second at the JoM Championship for 5th

Stuart Slater and Andrew Geraghty were both successful in reducing their handicaps through wins at club and open level.

Chris Doughill was the Midland U16s Champion, whilst Dale Marson played really only County Golf. His win of both the Boys and the U21s was why Dale made the Top 10.

The youngest player to make the Top 10 was this year’s U11s Champion, Nathan Ray.
