There were a number of familiar names in the field, the sons of notable (now) middle aged Warwickshire golfers, in a young Challis and Wilson. Other names who have already come to note for the Warwickshire Junior committee soon posted low scores on both the putting and Par 3 course. One such player is Daanyal Spalding.

Daanyal took a top prize in the putting after handing in a 66 on the Par three course in the morning. His sole birdie came at the 9th when Daanyal holed from off the back of the green and there was one mistake Daanyal wasn't happy with, a three putt on the 8th. That would be good enough to place third in the overall scores.

The player who headed the field, after the morning round on the Par 3 course, was Rhys Lawrence. Rhys was 'faldoesque' over his eighteen holes with lots and lots of pars. He hit a five wood close on the 8th but missed and then followed that with a 6 iron to 5ft on the 7th in his second loop of nine. It all added up to a 65, an excellent target for the younger players who were on the tee for the afternoon.

Maxwell took the honours in the putting and then set about trying to get close to Lawrence's 65 as the skies became a bit more cloudy and the temperature dropped. Dressed with even more 'zazz' that Ian Poulter (purple trousers), Maxwell made two mistakes with a thinned approach to the 2nd and a duffed chip on the 3rd.

Maxwell made up for those errors when he birdied the 5th after a rescue wood through the green and a chip-in and with his only long putt of the day, from 30ft on the 7th. Some of the Stoneleigh Par 3 holes were a full blooded driver to reach (for these young golfers) but Max could take inspiration from his five pars the day before, over a course of 6300+ yards, in the schools.

Consistent striking is a must to improve and faced with 470 yards par four at the Schools, Max hit his driver, a fairway wood and a lob wedge to a foot. His Easter holidays, together with all the other prize winners for the Warwickshire Young Masters, will be long remembered. The 64 shots Max took to win his first Warwickshire title might be repeated some day soon on a much longer course.

Presentations were made by WU Centenary President Johns Stubbings and the whole day run by Brian Tasker, President of Stoneleigh and Junior Chairman of the club, and his team of helpers. Also in attendance were John Reay, whose company very kindly sponsored all the prizes, and Dick Ferry, who idea this championship was.
