Two greats give backing to Golf Foundation Appeal
Two of the best-known names in golf, Sir Michael Bonallack OBE and Bernard Gallacher OBE, are encouraging golf clubs to respond to the Golf Foundation's Annual Appeal for 2005, which is being supported by Club Car. Through the recently launched appeal, golf clubs are being asked for a range of donations to help fund the Golf Foundation's development work in schools, golf facilities and through local authorities all over Britain. All money raised is hugely beneficial for junior golf and gives many more youngsters a chance to experience the sport and its values.

Junior Team win No 2 – and gain some sort of revenge
It was the turn of Shropshire & Herefordshire to visit Warwickshire for the second of the 2004 Midland League matches. Brian Fish’s Junior team comfortably won away last year and our team had only lost two players through those players becoming too old for this season. Ron Snelling, Chairman of Shrops & Hereford had some younger players in his squad and both teams were missing a couple of ‘stars’ so the result of the Junior County 6s for 2004 pointed to a close match.
The 2004 Boys Country 10s – would Warwickshire win?
In 2001, Warwickshire last qualified for the Country finals with a team boasting Juniors of the calibre of Rob Steele, John Wetton and the like. This year’s team was of equal possible status but with five scores to count from each of two rounds, and the best juniors in the Midlands to contend against, it would be a tough task. Would the ‘Fat Lady sing’ for our County?
