This afternoon we had the battle of the youngsters in the final of the County Championship, with Katrina GANI (16 yrs from Shirley GC) against Warwickshire Junior Girls Captain, Melissa NICOL (18 yrs from Moor Hall GC). Guess what - the sun shone throughout the day and the greens staff were seen mowing fairways during the day, which after the weather we have experienced this week was quite something!

Lisa BARTON (Brandon Wood GC) and Melissa NICHOL (Moor Hall GC) commenced their semi final at 09.00 a.m. today at Ladbrook Park GC. They were followed closely by Katrina GANI (Shirley GC) and Mandy NEWEY (Stratford-on-Avon GC) in the second match and we were anticipating two great matches. No rain this morning but the ground underfoot was still very wet although the greens had quickened.......

What a day!! We woke to rain this morning and the qualifiers were out all morning playing in Round 1 of the knockout series. How wet they were - nothing stayed dry even with umbrellas, waterproofs and caddies and they all came in for lunch looking like drowned rats!!.....

After the weather we have suffered during April and particularly the downpoor of yesterday, most of the players did not think they would be playing at Ladbrook Park GC on Monday morning. However, due to the hard work of the Greens staff, the course did in fact open and looked splendid with the greens running true and quite fast......

The County Championship for 2012 is to be held at Ladbrook Park GC, commencing Monday 30th April with a 36 hole strokeplay competition. In addition to the County Championship players, additional players will also play over 18 holes to join them for the Silver Division Medal.
