Meet Andy Kearns – Warwickshire 1st Team Captain |
| For Andy Kearns, 2004 has been a very special year. Never mind the triumphs of his 1st Team, there was the birth of his first child in August, a bouncing boy who is sure to be of the same stature as his father and of a character that anyone would be proud to know. Pre that change of life late Summer, there was much goings on as Andy was planning then implementing ‘Team Warwickshire’ which he wanted to be the legacy of his two years as Captain – this is the story. |

Peter McEvoy – talking of the Future, and the Past |
 |
|
Peter McEvoy is one of the greats of England Golf - a very respected golf writer responded to an enquiry about McEvoy by saying ‘quite possibly one of the last of the great amateurs’. McEvoy has not played at the highest level for nearly 20 years and with a young family, he now contents himself with a couple of rounds a month at his beloved Copt Heath, venue of the McEvoy Trophy each Spring for very the best juniors. The handicap is still scratch and the quality evident, and Peter happy if play is not slow. Time which was spent on honing a wonderful golf game is now devoted to many business interests but McEvoy took an hour out of his day to talk about the game of golf, for this web site – it’s a feature interview you must read. |

The 2004 Warwickshire Union Dinner |
| With the EGU President Paul Fisher as principle guest, the 2004 WUGC Annual Dinner saw some 200 club members and guests celebrate and very successful season for Warwickshire Golf, as was reflected in the praise given, in speeches from Paul Fisher and WU President Jim Dean, of the three team titles, the individual honours at National and Regional level and of course the Warwickshire Champions themselves. After the more conventional part of the evening, many guests were then reduced to tears of laughter during more than an hour of stories from raconteur Mr Bob Webb |

Another Coventry win |
| The Bainbridge shield has not left the City of Coventry in recent years and today, at a glorious Sutton Coldfield GC, Coventry Finham returned the huge trophy to their clubhouse after it was a few miles across the city at Hearsall for 2003-2004. With some spectacular golf, David Hayes and Matt Cryer were nine under par in beating the Maxstoke team of County Juniors Ben Stafford and Rob Browning by 6& 4 |
