County Championship & Spring Meeting 2021
This event was held at Hollinwell from Friday the 14th May through to Sunday the 16th of May, the weather forecast was dreadful but was exceedingly kind to us apart from late on Saturday afternoon when it absolutely chucked it down! It was great to see so many competitors at Hollinwell and the scores were good overall. Thank you to all those who entered and continue to support County golf, I hope that you enjoyed your game and managed to catch up with old friends and maybe even make some new friends whilst enjoying competitive golf.
The results are reported in full below, but of note on the Friday was the morning best gross and nett round played by Maddy Smith who managed a score of 8 under par for a total of 67 – this is a course record. Cheryl Gee just missed out on the best nett with a score of 68 - a fabulous score. Congratulations go to all those who qualified for the knockout matches which were played over the weekend and to our new County Champion Libby Kilbride. The spectators were all treated to an extremely high standard of golf and the matches were all both nail biting and exciting.
Finally, a big THANK YOU to all the people who worked so hard behind the scenes to make the event as successful as it was, to Hollinwell for hosting us and all the green staff who worked to present the course in such fabulous condition. There were several difficulties to overcome due to the Covid restrictions, but everyone rose to the challenge as usual. Hopefully, the Summer Meeting will be played under normal conditions.
