Midlands North Festival of Golf 2018
Once again the Festival of Golf, held at Trent Lock Golf Club on 20th August, was a great day for all the players, with Nottinghamshire entering a first team, handicap team and 9 hole players in the events during the day. The first team of Charlie, Maddie, Lucy, Eva, and Amelia Wan played hard only narrowly losing the overall match 2:3 against Derbyshire, but showing great determination along with a good team spirit and it was good to see the team supporting their players at the end of their games.
The handicap team of Jorja, Elizabeth, Lexi, Rachel and Lucy reversed the previous result winning 3:2 in an equally close contest with two of the games finishing all square in well fought battles. Well done to Lexi and Elizabeth on making their first appearance for the county teams, and also to Amelia Hogg on her debut in match play competition, playing a friendly against a Derbyshire player.

MNR Scratch League 2018 - Round 1
A mixture of results for the first round matches of the scratch league which were held at Telford Golf and Country Club on Saturday 14th July. There were two 18 hole matches: Staffordshire in the morning and Shropshire in the afternoon. The weather was particularly warm but the team of Ankita Anand, Lucy Holbrough, Eva Waplington, Madaleine Smith and Jorja Newbold were in good form. All performed exceptionally well in their first outing for the scratch team, Lucy, Eva and Madaleine recording a fine win for Notts.
An even hotter afternoon saw the girls facing fresh players form the home team Shropshire but our girls gave absolutely everything, just losing 2 games on the 17th and another on the 15th although 2 impressive wins by Lucy and Eva on the 13th and 15th respectively could only see us losing the match 3 - 2
An amazing team effort and many thanks to our supporting parents.
