SLCGA COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY 3 MAY 2026 at ENMORE PARK GOLF CLUB
Enmore looked very inviting on a mild bright day with very little wind. The forecast rain and threat of thunderstorms never materialised, much to the relief of the organisers and players alike.
20 players competed, with one having to withdraw unfortunately the night before. Scores showed that the course is tricky, with many a well-placed tree scuppering good shots, fast greens and some punishing rough. A big thank you though to the Gary & the Greens Staff who presented the course in very good order.
Enmore Park were excellent hosts, Matt, the manager during the planning stages and Jo the secretary who was on site from 7am helped to make everything run smoothly on the day. Likewise, the Head Pro, Harry, was on hand to help with all sorts of queries, and Corby & Holly with their House Team kept us very well fed & watered throughout the day. Chris, the Ladies captain, also stayed from first light to final prize-giving and we were so pleased to have a team of ball spotters and flower arrangements from Sheila
We are very grateful yet again to our referees on the day, James and Dave, who were on hand to answer any rules issues and help keep the field to time.
Both rounds showed a spread of scores, the best being Gross 71 on round 1 by Arabella White, who won the Scratch Cup for the lowest gross over 18 holes, going on to score 80 on round 2 and come in with the winning Gross of 151, lifting the Championship Cup.
Libbis Dezis came a close second with Gross 154, winning the salver and Gliddon Vase for the lowest gross for an under-25 competitor, presented to her by Margaret Gliddon. Hannah Woodley came 3rd on countback.
Hannah Katz won the Phillips Trophy for 1st Nett this year, with 151, with Emelia Pearce a close second with 153.
The Holt Shield was yet again won by The Mendip, with Libbie & Maisie Dezis and Ellen Reakes scoring a combined nett 471.
We were delighted that so many competitors and supporters stayed for the prize-giving, making a lively atmosphere in the clubhouse. All in all, a very successful championship for our 125th year.

SLCGA COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY 4 MAY 2025 at LONG SUTTON GOLF CLUB FULL RESULTS 2025
25 players competed at Long Sutton Golf Club for this year's 36 hole Championship.
The dry weather held but it was remarkably cold so multiple layers & wooly hats were dug out of the bottom of various golf bags.
A big thank you to Long Sutton for their hospitality & help with organisation, and their members who gave time to do ball-spotting and generally assist in anyway required. Thank you also to their Greens Staff who worked hard to provide an excellent course with fast greens and tricky pin positions, providing a challenge for this scratch championship.
As always, thank you to Janet and Alison for ably refereeing as always.
The first round produced some good scores, but congratulations to Aimee who shot lowest recorded gross score of 70 for the newly laid out course.
Round 2 was trickier with the cold wind getting up & affecting the greens. Scores weren't quite as keen as in round 1 and Libbie just pipped Aimee on count back for the title, both with gross 148 over 36 holes.
Libbie also won the Gliddon Vase and personal voucher from Margaret Gliddon for the lowest gross score for a player under 25 at the start of the year, and the 2nd Nett Phillips trophy but not the voucher as a player can win multiple trophies but only one voucher.
Hannah K recorded the best nett, shooting a very satisfying 5 under her handicap to win the Phillips Cup.
The Mendip yet again won the Holt Shield for the three best nett scores from one club.
Some superb golf was on show, with great friendships and rivalries on the course and a lovely atmosphere in the Clubhouse after.
Thank you to the supporters and the players for making this an excellent day.
