The Warwickshire Open - an Amateur win in 2004? |
 |
|
By finishing in the Top 25 in the Amateur, our players can then qualify for the Warwickshire Open to be held at Olton Golf Club on the 1st September 2004. For the last three years this title has been held by Matt Morris and twice by one of our ex Amateur Champions, Adrian Carey. Morris came close to qualifying for the European Tour whilst Carey now has found he plays his best golf by not over committing himself. He will be there as will our best Amateurs ....

The 2004 Boys and Youths |
| There are a dozen players who will form the basis of the 2004 Warwickshire Junior team who should be the main challengers for the Junior Championship - but last year, few thought of Chris Hazeldine as a contender, until he won his own Club Championship the week before. Harborne may spring its own surprise on the field. The U21s will have just as tight a field, and may include Chris Evans, David Harris, Jon Wetton and Chris Hazeldine, the holder of the title. |

Boys Trials - Stoneleigh GC - 15th April |
| This is the first of the Warwickshire Union Championships for 2004 and it always attracts all the best Junior golfers as well as those who are on the fringes of selection or are young golfers showing some talent. Last year, a new face in Mark James (Whitefields) beat off notables such as Chris Evans for this first win of the season. James went on to play for the County, on the back of his excellent score. |

The 2003 End of Season Celebration Dinner |
| Friday 28th November - the Warwickshire Union held its annual celebration dinner at Copt Heath Golf Club, with over 180 guest attending from many of our clubs, from the Midland Counties and with Mr Philip Parker, Chairman of the EGU, as the principal guest.
It was the 1st team who won the Midland League last year and for 2003, it was our 2nd team who were to receive the league trophy, having won in such dramatic fashion in the final match of the season. The presentations were made by John Tickell, trying (as per his position as MGU President) to be unbiased but in his own words, more than happy. |
