SOUTHWEST SENIORS INTERCOUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP 2025, held at FILTON on 20th August

This Championships is played between the six South West Counties, each taking
their 4 best 50+ players available.  The winning county is determined by the 3 best gross scores from the 4 players from each team.

This year it was played at Filton Golf Club in Gloucestershire, a very dry sloping
course covered in leaves. It was very tricky most shots going sideways down a
slope.

Our Team of Georgia Richards & Terina Parker from Taunton & Pickeridge, Sara
Cox-Conklin from Burnham & Berrow and Kathryn Anthony from Bath, tried their very best but had little reward from the course or the weather, a chilly day with a stiff breeze.

Wiltshire were the winners with a team score of 246, beating Dorset &
Gloucestershire who both had 247, followed by Devon with 264, Cornwall 276
and Somerset with 279.

This was a fair reflection of the average team Playing handicap - 
Dorset 3, Gloucestershire 3.5, Wiltshire 5.25, Devon 7.5, Cornwall 9.25 and
Somerset 10.

But the competition was well run and the players enjoyed the challenge.
Wiltshire were thrilled, saying they never usually win anything.
