Rhys take U12s with back-nine charge |
 |
|
Warwickshire Young Masters U12s - Stoneleigh Deer Park GC - Thursday 6th April 2007. With eight holes to play, Rhys Lawrence was three shots back from his arch rival the 2006 Young Masters Champion Maxwell Martin. A double bogey at his 10th had opened the gap from one to three shots so Rhys would need his best game to overhaul Max. He produced it.

Good win for the 2nds - but this 1sts miss out. |
| Harborne GC - Sunday 1st April 2007 - Pre-season friendly vs Leicestershire - President Elect John Duncombe has been part of Warwickshire Golf for more than three decades and in the 60s and 70s, he played many times for the then Warwickshire 2nds team. Watching today's play, John was more than impressed - 'The golf now is so completely different to when I played. Whether or not it is the technology, the things these guys can do is incredible' - into the wind though, the 18th at Harborne has always been a driver ....

'Old' and new help Copt Heath to Warwickshire Cup for 2007 |
| The Warwickshire Cup Final 2007 - The Warwickshire GC - Saturday 24th March. Copt Heath returned to the 'winners circle' of Warwickshire Championship golf, in part due to the re-appearance in scratch club golf of Peter Chalkley and the club's new member Steve Cox, a +2 handicapper from Woodhall Spa. In contrast, defending Warwickshire Cup Champions (and the hosts for every final), lost a key player just a few weeks before when Ben Kruze turned professional.
