Our Player of the Year |
| The Warwickshire Men, including the Juniors, had a very good year. A great year would have been qualifying for the County finals and either (or both) Senior or Junior level and the Junior Team came closest to that target. Success in Individual competitions depends greatly on the draw, even in strokeplay competition. With the lure of professionalism, as demonstrated by the three recent defections to the paid ranks of players who would have almost certainly made the 2005 Walker Cup team, amateurs of all ages up and down the Country are putting in the work which has raised the standards and quality of Amateur golf to new levels. |

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. |

The McEvoy Interview - Part II |
| McEvoy is a very busy man. He has an imminent trip to South Africa to go with the finishing touches to his new position as Business Development Director for Playgolf, the company building the new six hole golf courses. Near London it will be a chance for golfers to take on the 12th and 16th from Augusta, as well as the Postage Stamp from Troon and the 12th at Royal Birkdale. There is all this plus concerns about losing three highly rated squad members for the 2005 Walker Cup in this conclusion of this interview.. |

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. |
