Sad News - Don Harmer

2009-05-03T09:06:00.002+01:00

I am very sad to report that Don Harmer passed away in his sleep last Monday evening.

Don was a huge supporter of junior golf over very many years and tirelesly gave his time to the cause of developing junior golf. Much of our success was due to his efforts and he will be sorely missed by the many juniors he helped over the years, as well as the many friends he made across the South West and Gloucestershire.

Don - it was a pleasure to call you a friend - RIP

County Junior Team Championships - Friday 10th April

2009-04-18T08:24:00.001+01:00

The County Jnr team Championship was played on Good Friday over the Cotswold Hills links. There was a record entry of 80 boys & 10 girls representing 18 clubs for the tournament which is run jointly by the Gloucestershire Golf Union & the Gloucestershire Ladies Golf Association. The event is a 36 hole stableford points competition with 3 players (boys or girls) making up a team. One score from each round can be dropped with the best two scores in each round making up the aggregate score.

The course itself was in magnificent condition for this prestigious event, the winners of which go on to represent Gloucestershire at the English National Jnr team Championships at Burghley Park in Lincolnshire on 8th-9th August.

The current holders of the English trophy are last years winners Knowle in Bristol.
The weather was tricky with much heavy rain, a good breeze & even a little sunshine!!
The youngsters took it in their stride showing the depth of talent in the county at present.
Knowle made a good defence of their title & finished 3rd with 154 points. Brickhampton, (who have won the event previously) put together a great series of scores to attain 158 points, but no-one could match Cotswold Hills with their secret weapon, Owen Smith playing off a 20 handicap. He returned two magnificent scores of 46 points in the morning & 47 points in the afternoon. He was ably backed up by the other members of his team, Andrew Scarrott & Victoria Wakeley-Jones who both contributed to the team score of 163. Owen Smith won the prize for the AM round with his 46 points & in the interest of fairness young Ben Neville from Brickhampton Court won a ceded prize for the afternoon round with a great score of 45 points. So its off to the finals in August for our 3 winners, lets hope they can bring the English finals trophy (which was on display in the clubhouse) back to Gloucestershire.
Other very good scores during the day were recorded by Tom Hamilton (Lansdown) 44 points, Jack Walker (Minchinhampton) 43 points, Simon Weekes (Thornbury), Will Smith (Kendleshire) & Jamie Graham (South Cerney) 42 points, Sam Morgan (Bristol & Clifton), Courtney Stone (Knowle) Will Mullins (Knowle), Jack Layton (Cotswold Hills), Sam Payne (Shirehampton Park) 41 points & several others on 40 points.

The day was a great credit to Cotswold Hills & its staff & members who will be offered the opportunity to host this event once more next Easter (Clubs are only allowed to host twice in succession) & once again bring these future golf stars to a great venue.

David King, President South Western Counties Golf Association

2008-10-11T14:36:00.001+01:00

It is with great sadness that I inform you that David passed away in the early hours of Friday 10th October.

David had been a good friend of mine and had a very big influence on me, particularly the way I have run the junior sections I have been involved with over the years.

I first met David twenty years ago when I was looking after the juniors at Tracy Park and David was the secretary for the Bristol & District Junior League.When I then left Tracy Park to move to Cheltenham and Cotswold Hills, it was David that put in words for me to ensure I was able to move up the waiting list.

Then when I took over county juniors in 2000 David was the South West Secretary. In 2008 he became the President of the South Western Counties Golf Association.

He was always a very big supporter of junior golf. Always supporting Knowle, Gloucestershire and the South West and very proud of them all. Many juniors who have progressed in the South West have achieved because of the extraordinary work David has put in over the years, as well as his continued enthusiasm.

David, RIP, you will be fondly remembered by us all.

Been a busy summer

2008-08-24T08:22:00.003+01:00

Its been a while since I last posted, due mainly to holidays.
I was luck enough to enjoy two weeks of unbroken sun in Cuba (sorry to those that sayed in England)...

During the time I was aways a lot has happened on the golfing scene.
We narrowly missed out on The SW Boys Championship, in the closest event for years at Hamptworth Golf Club (only 11 shots from first to last place) - congratulations to Cornwall on winning this year.

After that we had the British Open. What a pleasure it was to see Chris Wood coming joint 5th.
The whole of Gloucestershire was so proud of the way he played and conducted himself. There is no doubt that he chose the correct path by immediatly turning pro. Making the cut and finishing so high in his first pro event was remarkable but not a surprise.
He will continue to be an inspiration to juniors in the county for many years to come. Nobody has worked harder than Chris over the past few years and hopefully it will inspire others to hard work. Like anything in life the harder you work the more you achieve. Well done Chris.

At a county level it has been a period of dissapointment as we have narrowly lost most of our team events. However, on an individual front it has again been excellent with Chris Llloyd flying the flag for us winning the North of England U16s and finishing 5th in the European Young Masters. He has now been selected to represent Europe in the Junior Ryder Cup in the US just before the real Ryder Cup. Chris and Adam have also been selected for the World Junior Championships in Japan at the end of the year.

With just a few events left we now start looking forward to the winter coaching programme.

Chris Wood qualifies for The British Open

2008-07-08T21:53:00.002+01:00

Fantastic news
- Chris Wood (Long Ashton) has today qualified for the Open Championship next week at Royal Birkdale He shot 71 / 72 to finish on 1 under par, finishing in a tie for second place at Hillside in final qualifying.
Chris is an example to all with the hard work and dedication he has put in over the past years, nobody deserves this opportunity more.We are all so proud of what he has achieved and wish him all the best (and his father who will be caddying) next week.
Hopefully their will be many familiar Gloucestershire faces there next week to cheer him on.

Go woody go!

If this wasn't enough he is also in 7th place in the World Amateur rankings.
