Junior Newsletter - A busy start to April!

The first match of the season, and first outing for Paddy the mascot, was the 2nd Team friendly against Mapperley Ladies, which was played on Thursday 11th April. This resulted in a 3-0 win for the juniors. Well done to all who played and many thanks to Mapperley GC for their hospitality and continued support of the junior section.

The Nottinghamshire Schools championships were held at Sherwood Forest GC on Friday 12th April. It was a brilliant day with 11 entries from girls. The gross winner was Amelia Wan and the nett winner was Jorja Newbold.  Amelia, Jorja and Maddie Smith will go forward to represent Notts in the Midlands Competition. There was also  a hole in one for Lexi Williams-Green! It was a week of tumbling handicaps - the girls have worked so hard on their game over the winter.

Jorja was also the winner of the Stanedge Junior masters this week - well done! Check out all the photographs at the end of this article.

The annual fundraising Mixed Am-Am was held at Radcliffe on Trent GC on Sunday 14th April. The day is run by the girls and includes extra fundraising efforts like club cleaning and a putting competition. The winners of the Am-Am were Maureen and Michael Clarke and Joanna and Garry Smith from Sherwood Forest GC. They were presented with their prizes by County Captain, Carol Houghton. The winner of the putting competition was Mike Taylor who was presented with his prize of 'Wild Berry Gin' by County President, Maureen Clarke. It was a very succesful day and many thanks go to everyone who helped out in any way.

In other news, Nottinghamshire girl Molly Campbell was the winner of the Derbyshire Schools Trophy and brought her trophy to show the other girls in the squad training groups.

The Handicap Team will have their first Midland North match at Rothley Park GC on Sunday 28th April. The team will be Lucy Holbrough, Maddie Smith, Safi Durrant, Lucy Moorhouse and Elizabeth Wilson. Good luck girls!
