Warwickshire teenager takes a bite out of golf history books
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 12th, CITY AIRPORT, LONDON – A fourteen year-old golfer planned to set a new Under-15 UK record for the longest drive and ended up not only smashing the women’s European record, but setting a new world record as well. The event was officially measured and adjudicated by Long Drivers of Europe (LDE).

Golf Past 50
This is one of five books we have specially reviewed for Christmas 2004 from Human Kinetics. For info on how to win our review copy, look out for the Competitions feature though quite simply, for any golfer over 50 – and really for anyone who wants to play more consistent, better golf – this is a must which can’t wait. It’s an absolutely brilliant book and anyone would enjoy this as a Christmas present … a present anytime!
Awareness and regulation costing your club
This editorial is not about a pretty model using a buggy. Its about something much more serious, two areas of real concern for golf clubs which members and management might not be fully aware of, if at all. That lack of awareness could cost a club financially. The first part of this feature is about new certification to be able to serve alcohol, and the costs of obtaining this form of licensing which could include ‘consulting’ fees, as is the trait in this climate of regualtion. The second looks at making sure that a club keeps its ability to cater for disabled people, whatever the weather.
Who is this in the Warwickshire Pros 4Ball?
Regular players in the Warwickshire Pros Championship, now in its 16th year, include Paul Broadhurst and Steve Webster. This year, those two gentlemen are away at the 25th birthday celebrations of an equipment manufacturer. This feature is not about the European Tour player who assumed ‘top billing’ in their place – its news of two Warwickshire Ladies1st Team players who just decided to have a go at playing with the guys.
