1sts vs Northants at Wellingborough
The Warwickshire 1st team opened up the season with an 8-man match against a strong Northamptonshire side at Wellingborough GC on Sunday 21st March. Despite sometimes gale force icy winds, sporadic rain and the recently hollow-tined greens, this “friendly” was a fiercely competitive and very closely fought match.

GSA Numbers - New for 2004
We have introduced a new system for 2004 - GSA numbers. GSA means Golf SportsSites Access and any player who is a member of a Warwickshire Union Golf Club can apply for one. Your GSA number can be used to enter competitions such as the Junior Order of Merit for 2004 (if you are a Junior), enter on-line for competitions, and to keep a profile for your play - at first it will be most useful for Juniors and the lower handicap golfers but it will become valuable for any golfer over a short period of time. It can also be used to report scores from Open competitions.
