Golfing legend Colin Montgomerie, OBE, is encouraging enthusiasts of the sport nationwide to put their handicaps to the test for charity this summer, by taking on Macmillan Cancer Relief’s Longest Day Challenge (13 June-13 July)1.

Following the phenomenal success of the previous three years, Best Western Hotels – the largest group of independently owned hotels in Great Britain – has announced the dates of its fourth Best Western Senior Amateur Masters golf tournament. The high profile golf tournament will run throughout the summer at a selection of Best Western’s hotels throughout Great Britain - all with on-site golf facilities.

We have introduced a new system for 2004 - GSA numbers. GSA means Golf SportsSites Access and any player who is a member of a Warwickshire Union Golf Club can apply for one. Your GSA number can be used to enter competitions such as the Junior Order of Merit for 2004 (if you are a Junior), enter on-line for competitions, and to keep a profile for your play - at first it will be most useful for Juniors and the lower handicap golfers but it will become valuable for any golfer over a short period of time. It can also be used to report scores from Open competitions.
