The 2012 Warwickshire Amateur - Coventry GC - Thursday 24th May - 'He's one good round from playing great', said one of Sam Dodds' friends. It was actually more like one stroke as after a front (first nine) of the 36 holes that decide the Warwickshire Champion, of 43 shots, Sam was looking to head to Wales quicker than Usain Bolt, for another attempt to try to play as well as he knows (and everyone who knows him) he can.

2009 Warwickshire Amateur - Olton GC - Thursday 21st May - With just 29 strokes, Andy Sullivan procured himself a winning margin over the rest of the field in this year's Amateur, to give himself a second title for 2009 after winning the Midland Closed by six shots three weeks ago. It was a burst of quality of golf that only someone of Andy's calibre can produce, and was just enough to hold of the charge of Jack Sant. Sant only started playing golf again a year ago, having had a rest after years of Junior success.
